That is not saying anything, the full documentation and source code is public for everyone to read.
Lemmy.world is ddosing themselves to make them look like a victim so that people will flock to their instance in support
We have a uptime thats beyond reasonable, there were some smaller problems some days ago, but they just made things a little slower.
And Lemmyml is full of tankies.
There are however many other instances as well, being on many small ones eases the burden for all and makes single point of failure problems less likely.
100% agree. I'm yet to notice programming.dev go down which makes sense when you consider the target demographic and that the admins probably fit right into it.
Once I made my non-world account here, Lemmy is like a whole new rock solid experience!
Combined with the choice in apps, even though they’re still evolving, it’s great.
Yeah, it's incredible how your choice of instance can give you a completely different experience (in terms of stability). Still, you can sub to any community you want, so your instance is irrelevant, unless it's defederated from a server you like.
Yeah, I think there’s a sweet spot in using a mid sized instance such as this. It’s big enough to have a bunch of users hitting communities all over the fediverse, and to have some resources dedicated to the server, but small enough to have its own identity and not be a target.
The magic happens because of how your home instance caches communities from other instances. So your experience depends on the reliability of the instance you’re using, but not so much the reliability of other instances(within reason).
I love how this is now similar to when people would have usernames relevant to the conversation in Reddit.
Now, y'all just swoop in with the relevant instance 😂
If you think lemmy.ml is full of tankies, you should check out https://lemmygrad.ml and https://hexbear.net. They are a hundred times worse
The two others are defederated by most because they are mostly actual commie nazis than anything else.
I know that they have not been defederated from lemm.ee. I meant that I hope lemm.ee defederates from them in the future.
Well, if not come to Shitjustworks, we defederated from lemmygrad (hexbear is basically irrelevant, I've never seen a post from there, just some idiots I've blocked)
Just an anecdote, but I've been waiting for (I think) close to 36 hours for the email verification to complete my sign-up there. Since there's no way to resend it, I've been stuck in sign-up limbo.
I've tried creating two accounts with the same issue. One with a Gmail address and one with a Fastmail account. Neither has received a verification email. I've checked the spam folders on both too.
Hello from my new account at sh.itjust.works. I just created this, you can check my profile. I used a temp email: temp-mail[dot]org
After you sign up, you can change the email to some random invalid email so your account is safe from getting hijacked via password reset through email. Changing email doesn't require re-verification as far as I can tell.
Perhaps your IP got flagged for some reason. Are you using a VPN or Tor? Those may trigger some spam filters. Is your network a public one? (Eg: University, Hospital, Workplace, etc.)
That's really weird. I've been staying at a hotel the last few days and maybe the IP is flagged for some reason, like you said. Well, I guess those two handles are just lost then.
I actually migrated to lemmy.ca, eh, since lemmy.world is down half the fucking time. I have enemies to destroy, and I don't got time for that shit.
is it canada or california based? or is it neither and just the domain they happened to pick?
How do I even find other instances? Not trying to sound like a turd, I just legitimately haven't looked into it at all yet
I think it usually just involves look around the comment sections. People are like "I'm on this instance, it's good blah blah blah."
In my case though I chose lemdro.id because it's an instance that centers around a topic I'm interested in.
At the bottom of every Lemmy page, there is a link in the footer that says "instances". It lists every instances currently federating with this server. Just look at the list and pick something that catch your eye. Note that it lists not just Lemmy instances, but also kbin, mastodon, etc.
The awesome instance list has pretty useful information on instances. You can find it on GitHub.
How's anisocial
I want good anime subs to join but I can't find any through search...
Any general sub that's got good interaction?
First couple weeks were pretty rough, but it's been real smooth sailing since that all got smoothed out
Yeah I almost claimed the whole time too, but that felt like I'd be lying by omitting those early days.
Please don't play into Enlightened Centrist horseshoe theory crap by pretending that the idiots of both extremes are identical.. While it has some superficial things in common with Stalin style tankiness, fascism is 100% a right wing ideology.
Ah yes, so they have another large instance to ddos
Use smaller instances like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee. You know, the entire point of decentralization.
How long will it take, do you think, for lemm.ee to become one of the bigger instances? I keep seeing people mention it, and that's why I'm here.
lemm.ee is larger than lemmy.ml by active users monthly, as such it's already the second largest instance. Don't let the "total users" number confuse you: lemmy.ml is ancient and is bound to have many inactive accounts.
Wow, didn't know that. Makes sense why I see so many lemm.ee users then
Ig it shouldn't be recommended as a smaller instance then
