Plot twist: it’s the lemmy.ml team doing the ddos’ing
I mean they did say the attackers had intimate knowledge of Lemmy so…
That is not saying anything, the full documentation and source code is public for everyone to read.
Time to point fingers (at other instances)!!!1
who is doing the ddosing is prime material for conspiracy theories
Conspiracy theorists are doing the ddosing
“Can’t have a problem if I’m the problem”
points to head
Lemmy.world is ddosing themselves to make them look like a victim so that people will flock to their instance in support
no i’m not
It’s all a LARP!
It’s obviously funded by spez
Ugh. For five peaceful seconds I’d forgotten about that ungainly rat.
It’s like the game but with Spez
Screw you, I forgot about the game.
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.
It’s not just about users though, we need to separate communities as well. There are so many communities on lemmy.world currently.
This. I feel like world isn’t prioritizing the health of the entirety of Lemmy by not closing community creation.
Lemmy needs a refpost system where you can choose to post articles to different instances that link together.
You then can get all the benefits of centralization without necessarily being centralized.
Isn’t lemm.ee running on commercial hardware designed to take much larger server loads?
Like every other instance?
Most instances are run on a rented vps. But no vps is going to take well to a constant ddos
What do you think the other ones are running on? i386s in someone’s basement?
Yes
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.
I don’t know why Hexbear’s numbers are all blank (because it’s newly federated?) but I would expect it to take second or third place.
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
It still has one eighth the users of world. World is just absolutely huge compared to the rest.
Removed by mod
Lemmy.ca is the superior instance and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
is it canada or california based? or is it neither and just the domain they happened to pick?
deleted by creator
Canada
Question: when an instance is down do its posts just not show up on other instances it’s federated with?
I’m guessing all the shitposts that don’t load on 196@blahaj for me are from users on overloaded instances, because when I post there, the image is uploaded to my home instance and referenced in that post on the ‘foreign’ instance. Plenty of error placeholders there lately. Concerning your question: I think a community gets delayed into your feed if its server federates slowly or not at all until it is up again. I see sudden post batches appear in my feed sometimes and unseen posts from hours ago.
Would be great if people spread out a bit.
Not a competition.
yeah it is.
Only competition should be Reddit not other instances
Meanwhile me on lemmy.zip -
grabs popcorn
I truly dislike .zip domain names tho
Are they too compressed for you? ;)
Is it due to the scammy potential uses of the domain?
Yeah, I truly don’t understand how it became a top domain
lemmy.sdf.org is a nice instance.
Kbin.social has been incredibly solid recently
I’m a big fan, just wish it didn’t block so much nsfw stuff
I feel like it’s been pretty solid the whole time.
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.
because we don’t have a fascist tankie at the helm 😎
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.
shh don’t jinx it
can’t wait for them to blame another instance with no evidence whatsoever
Lmao
we just took a nap
It’ll be back eventually, bigger and stronger than before 💪
