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.
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?
The .ca domain is Canadian.
Canada
Question: when an instance is down do its posts just not show up on other instances it’s federated with?
Use small instances. I’ve never had trouble on lemdro.id.
This is the way.
Don’t join big instances. There should be no main instance. Join small instances. Spread the load
That’s what she said
Or make your own
How about letting sh.itjust.works take the place, because their shit seems to always just works.
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.
I feel so safe here lol
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.
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 hope mine, lemm.ee, defederates from those instances too
You can check that, bottom of the page and instances.
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.
Meh, I can create an account using a Temp Email address. What’s your email provider?
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.
Lmao
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.
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.
This. I feel like world isn’t prioritizing the health of the entirety of Lemmy by not closing community creation.
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
Isn’t lemm.ee running on commercial hardware designed to take much larger server loads?
What do you think the other ones are running on? i386s in someone’s basement?
Yes
Not a competition.
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
shh don’t jinx it
I feel like it’s been pretty solid the whole time.
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.
Meanwhile me on lemmy.zip -
grabs popcorn
It’ll be back eventually, bigger and stronger than before 💪
can’t wait for them to blame another instance with no evidence whatsoever
It’ll be back eventually, bigger and stronger than before 💪
