I need another instance so I can lurk when this happens.

If it’s just for lurking, look for a small one to help spread the load.

Try the one I’m on if your into sci-fi or fantasy

I’m mostly in the Cosmere communities, I need to read more books before I can contribute elsewhere!

+1 to this. Imho it’s not good for lemmy as a whole if people are concentrated on a few large instances. Any time one of those major instances experience issues, the effect is going be major.

That’s why I created this lemm.ee account. It seemed silly just waiting for lemmy.world to come back up all the time. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse. 😁

Performance is also overall better via other instances. We were hesitant about migrating /r/android given the LW downtimes but ended up doing so when Cole offered us a place on lemdro.id. Awesome uptime and great performance thus far with his scaling solution - keeps costs low as well.

The more decentralized, the better!

OverfedRaccoon ,

That was definitely a controversial move. 😂

I think it’s “easier” when you first come to Lemmy (or similar) to join the biggest server with all the communities. Being able to interact with communities everywhere, despite where your home instance is, takes some time to conceptualize. I actually think Lemmy has been easier to understand with that than, say, Mastodon.

ijeff ,
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Ideally this will be addressed by improved community discovery functionality in the apps and Lemmy-UI so folks don’t need to really think about it.

I agree Lemmy is easier than Mastodon.

Countmacula ,

I decided to make on on Lemm.ee. Seems pretty cool!

Are they suffering DDOS attacks? They might need something like Cloudflare to combat this. Maybe some kind of reverse-proxy if the attack isn’t super massive.

p0ppe ,

Already running Cloudflare.

That doesn’t really work for logged in users though, right?

L3s ,

The current issue is actually an ongoing DB issue. It’s not solely affecting LW.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Yes. My instance will sometime have unusual high load and it will overload the cpu unless restarted. 0.18.3 doesn’t seems to fix it, and it only affect some instance but not all. It’s hard to pinpoint what cause the loop to happen.

Blaze OP ,
@Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

And it’s back up again! Kudos to the team!

jacktherippah ,

Down again it seems. People seriously need to switch away from lemmy.world. Every single time it goes down so much content goes down with it. It’s annoying.

Blaze OP ,
@Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

It’s working now. Indeed, I hope they will.

    Because they’re on lemdro.id as lemmy provider, not lemmy.world. That’s the @ part in the user name.

    dmtalon ,

    I did this early on after realizing my mistake, promptly moved to vlemmy.net which after a couple weeks went totally mia.

    Moved again… It’s a toss-up though. I want an instance big enough to stay updated, and have an active community, but not turn into .world or vlemmy.

    Blaze OP ,
    @Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

    You should be safe on infosec.pub, jerry is a great admin

    dmtalon ,

    Here’s to hoping!! I also worked with infosec group at my previous employer a lot and really grew to appreciate that field so I felt like a good fit !

    Blaze OP ,
    @Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

    That’s great!

    Fish ,

    I recommend people move away from Lemmy.world. Having ~28% of Lemmy users on a single instance is not good for the health of Lemmy overall.

    For those that want to move to a different instance, here is a link to Lemmy instances sorted by user count: fedidb.org/software/lemmy

    Is there an easy way to move all my subscriptions over?

    MrRazamataz ,

    There is a python script: github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

    or a program with a GUI: github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases

    sj_zero ,

    We're not allowed to have nice things.

    Blaze OP ,
    @Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Thankfully, other instances are still up and allow us to talk about it.

    Back in the days, when Reddit or Twitter were down, it was down for the whole userbase.

    sj_zero ,

    Yes, and we can do something about our own instances. Depending on your reverse proxy there's a couple options.

    Blaze OP ,
    @Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Definitely!

    TheBestUsername ,

    how? I just use Sync for Lemmy and it seems like everything is down when lemmy.world is. I don’t really know how Lemmy works, or where different things I subscribe to are based.

    Illecors ,

    Your account is on lemmy.world, so it fails to get any and all data. Accounts on other instances can interact with historic data.

    SlopppyEngineer ,

    You have to think of lemmy.world as your lemmy provider. Just like with e-mail you have your own email provider from the ISP, or gmail, or … If your own provider is down, you can’t receive or send mails, but all other people can send mails to each other. It’s the same with lemmy, but then for reading posts and send comments to that instance/provider.

    TheBestUsername ,

    Perfect. This makes sense, thank you.

    Nice things cost money and I don’t have it. So, checks out.

    The company running lw are asking for free unpaid 150k+a year admin work.

    Fuck them. Someone run this personally and start a non profit.

    sj_zero ,

    Lots of options besides the one instance.

    AndreyAsimow ,

    It’s getting really annoying. Is there an mobile friendly way to migrate my account from lemmy.world to lemmy.zip?

    Blaze OP ,
    @Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Hello,

    Hm, I’m afraid at this moment the most common solution is github.com/CMahaff/lasim, which requires a computer. Would you be able to get access to one at some point later?

    AndreyAsimow ,

    I have access to my work MacBook. Would that work?

    Blaze OP ,
    @Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

    I’m not an expert in Rust, but I guess it should!

    CMahaff ,

    LASIM author here - it should! Though Mac OS X is the one platform I can’t test on myself - I can build it through Github, and everything I did should be cross-platform, but I can’t actually launch it myself to make sure everything is working fine.

    Only other thing might be if their work Macbook imposes any restrictions on running arbitrary binaries from the internet - which it understandably might.

    Zak8022 ,

    Ooh, I didn’t know about this, thank you. I’ve primarily been using kbin, but this sounds like a good tool to bookmark for the future.

    danielton ,
    @danielton@outpost.zeuslink.net avatar

    Unfortunately, I don’t think there is anything on mobile yet. The best tool for this is LASIM on desktop.

    AndreyAsimow ,

    Thanks! Gonna have to find some way to get to a PC or Mac.

    QuazarOmega ,

    If you’re on Android you can use Termux to run lemmy_migrate, it’s a Python script

    Decoy321 ,

    You can always have multiple accounts

    Blaze OP ,
    @Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

    I guess the issue is to importing the huge list of blocked instances to the new account

    Decoy321 ,

    I’ll concede, that’s a legitimately useful timesaver.

    AndreyAsimow ,

    Yes, exactly. Blocked and subscribed as well

    Marcbmann ,

    Why do you block instances? Sorry, new here

    Blaze OP ,
    @Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Because I have no interest in them, or they are NSFW and don’t tag properly, or they are duplicates with ones I already follow (technology communities are a good example)

    skankhunt42 ,
    @skankhunt42@lemmy.ca avatar

    I personally follow all the technology communities and just show new subscribed content on my main page. Some content is the same but there’s a lot of different posts too.

    It kind of sucks that there’s several sub’s with a lot of people but then again, that’s the point, right?

    Blaze OP ,
    @Blaze@sopuli.xyz avatar

    You do you, I just prefer to block them, as long as we are both happy, that’s what matters!
