Yes I know they’re getting DDoSed, I’m just messing around

I just jumped to another instance. Feels good now that stuff loads again. This sucks right now, but it’s probably good for Lemmy in the long run. Load should be spread across instances, and this forces people to move. I’ve also noticed that I now see some stuff that I couldn’t anymore on Lemmy.world, so it’s better overall.
Another one sees the light. :)
Due to me only really using my phone for 3rd party youtube and lemmy, I decided, after thinking the other day “if .world goes down again, I’m gonna create an alt just as a backup.”
And then it happened last kigjt, so I’ve made 3 new ones, just as a safety backup. Now I’ve heard of LASIM. It was super easy.
I’m doing my part! Like, I literally have a computer at home that I’m using as my own instance, couldn’t be doing my part any further than that (unless I invite my family to join the server)
I always enjoy finding new instances!
I honestly I don’t get why people don’t just, y’know, join instances that are more local. It would solve the “everything’s in a different language!” Issue too because now the main foreign language is, y’know, one you speak.
Or - yeah I did the same I joined a Finnish instance because I live right next door and it seemed like the logical thing to do
and screw Denmarkwe are the best country of Chile.
Honestly, given the current state of affairs I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The little time these turds spend attacking the site I call my mental health break from the madness.
That’s smart lol All it does for me is make me think I’m going crazy when trying to subscribe to a .world instance for the first time right after it goes down, since it doesn’t load
Every Lemmy user should run a single user server instance on their phone. Setting it up should be as easy as installing any other app. And doing this should not depend on any cloud infrastructure beyond DNS
Every time I hear the phrase “spread the load” I keep remembering a scene from a movie where some kid jerks off in his pants and then wipes his jizz on a bunch of books in the library. Can’t remember the name of the film, but I remember it had Jeff Daniels in it as the kid’s dad and that one scene.
lemdro.id is always accepting new users

you know it! That guy is a beast. represent 🤝
I’ve got notifications for when a new release comes out and I normally get at least one a day, one time I got like 5 in a day The development is going crazy fast, and it’s still amazingly good!
Stop flocking to the core worlds, join the fringe! We have the same amenities… Only downside is browsing by All is less diverse
Can you explain this? Why? If I follow the same communities that in the bigger instance?
Your subscribed will be the same. All will differ as it grabs everything everyone on that instance is subscribed to.
Ex. If you’re on lemmyworld you’ll see everything there by default but if you swap to instance X and nobody in x is subbed to niche.community@lemmyworld then it won’t be brought to your All
Ok! I had misconception of “All” I thought that it shows literally All! Thanks for the explanation!!
Content fringe world inhabitant here:
Why is our All tab less diverse?
Is it not just dependent on how many instances your instance is federating with?
The main issue is that Lemmy instances, by default, only know about their local communities and remote communities that the users of that server have deliberately subscribed to. Some smaller instances are running federation helpers which are bots that search for remote communities to fix this.
Thanks for clarifying. Makes sense
Good to learn about some of the piping underneath
You subscribe to individual communities. So unless a user or the admin already subscribed to a community there won’t be any content there from those communities.
Even after subscribing only new content (and old content that has had replies/likes) will show up.
All is based on what people on that instance are subscribed to most, not just federation
Makes sense. It only pulls in what users on the instance subscribe to.
Thanks for clarifying!
One can easily get around that by simply subscribing to more communities!
I look at lemmy.world all occasionally to get a sense of what I’m interested in but don’t know it yet. Then I subscribe to help expand the variety for everyone. Not that lemm.ee is all that small
Pretty much any of the top 5 instances already subscribe to each others communities. Definitely not missing out on lemm.ee either!
Almost definitely, it’s hard to imagine there’s a community on lemmy.world that not one of the 20k users have susbcribed to
Virtually identical absolutely. But in my personal experience over the last few months, I see content that’s in lemmy.world that’s not on lemm.ee
For a while, because content was more thin, I’d run through all of active, then all of hot, then I’d look at lemmy.world just to see if there was content I hadn’t seen yet
Yes, Sopuli seems like a main server. Love it.
In my totally unbiased opinion you should join lemm.ee
No no no no no. We don’t want to people to join and enjoy our near 100% uptime. Also be warned that lemm.ee isn’t de-federated with lemmynsfw so you’ll get PORN on your all feed. The horror. Steer clear.
block the porn communities or disable NSFW, that’s what I did (at least before lemmy.blahaj.zone defederated from them)
So I don’t know enough about the inner workings, but on Reddit I never browsed all at all - it was 100% communities I’d subscribed to. At the moment I’m happy with Lemmy All, but if in the future when content gets too much, would I say, be able to host my own instance in my Android device and my subscriptions will just pull in the content I’m interested in? That way I am not putting load on other instances, and I can take my configuration with me without needing a cloud service?
You can also just browse “subscribed” instead of all.
My understanding is you can’t host your own instance on an Android device, you’d need a server. You could stand up a server on Oracle Cloud, their Always Free tier is pretty generous.
What are the few fringes here ?
Check out lemmyverse.net and look at instances
what if every instance used the lemmy community seeder?
Anyone is welcome to join my instance at endlesstalk.org. Its running on a pretty beefy server, so it can take a decent amount of users.
There are multiple frontends like lemmy.world and I have setup a seeder(lemmony), so the all feed should be pretty filled.
Signups are open on my instance up to 100ish users. I run scripts to auto-federate popular content, so it’s pretty bumping.
Do you use LCS or lemony? Just curious
Both, actually.
I, personally, use Lemmony on my instance. It’s a solid tool.
Spread the Load!
That’s what she said.

.world is so unstable that at this point its future is uncertain and I am ready to completely migrate either to beehaw or to some other instance.
I would move to a smaller instance (though I still check their /all on occasion). However, I wouldn’t choose Beehaw, as they’ve defederated from some large instances.
I created a lemm.ee account, and I might just mainly go on there instead of this one (or .world).
Performance on lemm.ee is pretty solid, world was my original instance but it’s just my backup now. Hopefully whatever vulnerabilities that are being used to DDoS them can be patched soon.
I’ve been pretty happy on lemm.ee. I had an account on .world but set this up when I had issues connecting, my original was .ml which I switched from for similar reasons. Here’s hoping lemm.ee can remain stable going forward, I’m trying to use the same username for consistency but its a pain losing comment history/ account age when hopping instances.
The way BeeHaw is run makes me wonder why they even bother with federation. They want a safe space.
Beehaw is an old instance (two years, so “old” is relative). They have their own thing going on, and didn’t want to change their groove for the influx of redditors.
I get that, but their mission seems to be against the concept of federation. They want a safe space.
It’s not a load problem though, it’s because some loser is DDoSing the server. Doesn’t hurt to move to other instances where it isn’t happening but the real solution would be to find who’s doing this so they can be brought to justice (or silenced from the internet forever, whichever is easier).
Please tell others to stop misrepresenting this issue, it is an attack, not a user overload problem and nobody who’s misrepresenting it that way is doing anyone any favors except the attackers by presenting it as such. Instead it should be presented as what it is.
So I’m totally new to federated apps and just joined the biggest one figuring it’d be the most reliable.
I understand the downside of all/local filtering being less useful on smaller instances, but I don’t use those anyway, so would be curious about a couple of things if anyone has advice:
- How would you go about choosing an instance assuming reliability/speed was all you cared about?
- Is there somehow a way to transfer the topics I subscribe to/content I’ve submitted to a new instance, or would I basically just be starting over if I switched?
-
Of course location is not a guarantee of fast speeds, but you can at least check servers nearby with https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/map. I guess you can check for uptime to have an idea about reliability, but I never really relied on that. Shit happens (vlemmy comes to mind) so it’s hard to gauge an instance’s future reliability/stability. You have the option to start your own instance as well.
This is great, thank you!
Hope you find the right instance for you. Welcome to lemmy!

Lemmynsfw: spread the load, you say?
It’s isolated
Your username is one r away from demonstrating obvious bias when it comes to loads, though…
I have several alts. This is not the primary one. Did I get the joke right
I believe you did, hence my updoot. doffs cap
Your instance TLD is my response to this comment thread
You’re welcome.
