I found an active thread in a sub on another instance I’d like to participate in. When I sub to the thread from sh.itjust.works there are no comments; I assume that’s because sh.itjust.works only starts syncing communities after the first subscription. So now I can either read the thread on an instance I don’t have a login for, or participate in an empty version of the thread on sh.itjust.works.
Is there any way to participate in the active thread at this point? Thanks.
edit: Just checked my subscription to the new community is [pending]. Maybe that’s it?
edit2: Thanks to @Barbarian I can at least sub to one of the pending communities, and the others are on lemmy.ml, so I’ll just wait those out.
Just checked your comment history. Let me guess, the one at !professors@lemmy.ml? Lemmy.ml is MASSIVELY overloaded right now. 10x our users, half our server power. Treat any community there as “Will work if I’m lucky and time it right”.
Holy hell, lemmy.ml is that underpowered? Not that shit just works is underpowered, but…
Compare lemmy.ml’s setup to ours.
EDIT: Lemmy.ml just crashed again. Was listed as 6 CPU, 32GB RAM
EDIT2: It’s back up again, corrected my numbers. Worse than I thought.
Holy moly, lemmy.ml runs on not faster hardware than my old home server. Its replacement will be faster
No, I can post there. It’s on !audiobooks@lemmy.fmhy.ml.
Trying it myself, having the same issue. It’s not federation issues site-wide, popped into some popular posts and there are posts from sh.itjust.works users. It’s not a block issue (although that allowed instance makes me very suspicious on their end), and it’s not a site overloading issue (their site seems to be running fine).
EDIT: I KNEW IT! https://sh.itjust.works/post/70752
Should work fine now
Thanks! I’m subbed now. Of course, the comments that were added before I subbed aren’t accessible from here, but at least I can join any that come along later.
