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

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…
Your instance TLD is my response to this comment thread
You’re welcome.
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
Stop flocking to the core worlds, join the fringe! We have the same amenities… Only downside is browsing by All is less diverse
Well, as long as the server is decently large enough it should be fine Like lemm.ee or sopuli.xyz
Yes, Sopuli seems like a main server. Love it.
In my totally unbiased opinion you should join lemm.ee
block the porn communities or disable NSFW, that’s what I did (at least before lemmy.blahaj.zone defederated from them)
lemm.ee probably has a virtually identical /all to lemmy.world, right? They’ve got like 20k users
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
Pretty much any of the top 5 instances already subscribe to each others communities. Definitely not missing out on lemm.ee either!
One can easily get around that by simply subscribing to more communities!
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 if every instance used the lemmy community seeder?
What are the few fringes here ?
Check out lemmyverse.net and look at instances
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
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!
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.
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!!

Spending 100 bucks on your nephews to run some code on their home connections - Priceless.

Quack
wouldn’t be surprised
Apparently it’s a wannabe powermod who got banned after squatting a ton of community names. There was a post from the admins saying that he’s creating garbage communities, with a quarter of all communities being those at one point.
Who you are talking about is indeed an option because he was genuinely pissed off… He created scripts to create thousands of communities so we set up rate limits 😁 But there are plenty more who don’t want LW to succeed. Be it banned users, defederated instances or just someone with too much time looking to take down the biggest instance.
There was also a (now banned) reddit mod who used to moderate gamingcirclejerk there and she demanded me to hand over the gamingcirclejerk community on LW to her. To just take it from the current team. I said no but I can be a middleman but she wanted none of that. She wanted the red carpet laid out ‘because reddit mod’ so she had the right to it 🙄 She was also a very known user on an instance we recently defederated with.
So just wanted to clear that up here. We have suspicions but no proof. Thanks for your support 🫶
Its the internet. What can be attacked will be attacked. Unrelated to opinions or hatred or anything.
site of only cute puppies pictures? if it can be attacked it will be.
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.
When lemmy.world goes down, I use the time it is down to do other things. Like read, spend more quality time with my pets, learn something new, or just go outside and touch some grass.
During the Reddit protest I got a professional certification. It’s amazing what you can do when you’re not doomscrolling…
Lol me too! I got an AWS cert
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:
https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim (easy) - Latest Version Download (just select your OS type and run the program)
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.
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.
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
False alarm. Sounds like it’s a good ol fashioned DDOS attack.
Yeah! Leave Gandalf’s stash alone, smoke Saruman’s instead.
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.
Spread the Load!
That’s what she said.

I’m from Chile so i joined through feddit.cl 🇨🇱
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.
I always enjoy finding new instances!
That’s why I made a second account
Same here. Probably gonna make this one my main now that world has gone on a defederating spree, make a third or both.
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)
