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

I already did! Now what?
Hope that .world stops going down cuz half the communities are on there lol
.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.
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!
Didn’t really have a choice if I wanted to use Lemmy!
I’ve learned not to start my own instance as I’d have to deal with illegal shit being hosted on it via federation. No thanks.
I’m pretty sure stuff is only hosted on the instance which the community is created on
test
But you can still see it on other instances. Or else this entire thing would be pointless.
I mean chrome is not responsible for whatever the shit some websites host.

Yeah! Leave Gandalf’s stash alone, smoke Saruman’s instead.
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!!
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!
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
Almost definitely, it’s hard to imagine there’s a community on lemmy.world that not one of the 20k users have susbcribed to
what if every instance used the lemmy community seeder?
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?
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.
You can also just browse “subscribed” instead of all.
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)
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?
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!
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
One can easily get around that by simply subscribing to more communities!
What are the few fringes here ?
Check out lemmyverse.net and look at instances
If you like books & writing, mine exists (literature.cafe). I have the community seeding bot that runs every 24 hours.
make it easier to create an instance for us noobs.
Thanks man. I’m going to try and deploy on a free box I have here. I have a dedicated IP with the connection here so I think I’m able to do something with it.
If there was a php solution, I would be hosting one
There is kbin
False alarm. Sounds like it’s a good ol fashioned DDOS attack.
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)
Here is some useful information for people wanting to move instances. For a list of instances, along with with stats for those instances:
https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy or https://lemmyverse.net/
Also, tools for migrating instances:

Woah 29k new users on lemmy.world !
At this point I view it as a iq test.
/s
Just kidding… But you know what I mean.
I’m going to spread the load so hard. :Sweat:
