Can potentially be slow federation. I only have two people on my instance so it’s not like it’s spending much time doing anything else. I’ll check it out on .ee in a sec if I can make an account. The admin there knows their stuff so I don’t think it’s broken

Sure thing. I’m seeing a similar result searching on .ee and I also see there’s one subscriber to your community on that instance - looks pretty similar to my screenshot above. If you’re still having issues, there may be some browser wonkyness going on, but either way your community is visible to others.

Top tier commentary

I’m running a lot of services off my nginx reverse proxy. This is my general setup for each subdomain - each in its own config file. I wouldn’t consider this verbose in any way - and it’s never crashed on me

service.conf

server {
    listen       443 ssl http2;
    listen  [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name  [something].0x-ia.moe;

    include /etc/nginx/acl_local.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/default_settings.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/ssl_0x-ia.conf;

    location / {
        proxy_pass              http://[host]:[port]/;
    }
}

The hidden configs are boilerplate which are easily imported for any applicable service. A set-once set of files isn’t what I would count towards being verbose. 90% of my services use the exact same format.

If a certain service is complicated and needs more config in nginx, it’s going to be the same for caddy.

lemmy.world’s pretty big, but I’m still getting other places. More spread would always be good though. Counts from my all feed -

  48 | lemmy.world
  14 | beehaw.org
  12 | sh.itjust.works
   4 | lemmy.dbzer0.com
   4 | lemmy.film

Damn I’m jealous. What I wouldn’t give to get mindwiped to experience that again.

So… “fun” fact since I was following that shitshow at the time. When r/T_D got booted off reddit, they congregated to a site called thedonald[dot]win. That site later got renamed to patriots[dot]win. They were very much hyping up Jan6th in the days leading up to it and were absolutely looking forward to getting violent.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say reddit’s tolerance towards T_D was one of the root-causes towards what happened in J6th.

…go on…? And…?

And because this instance had open registration, it quickly became one of the biggest instances. Trolls were using the open registration + federation to harass their community. Because there are a lack of mod tools and the fact they only have 4 mods, they couldn’t keep up. In order to keep the community they wanted in tact, they decided to temporarily defederate until they’re better equipped to handle it.

I bought that on a friend’s recommendation a few months ago, but I feel like I didn’t give it a fair chance - only played about an hour or two. I’ll give it another shot - thanks for the rec
