You have no idea how actually true that is.

My dad taught me to be a freak in the sheets.

Excel sheets, to be precise.

This is amazing!

It has

Or do you have an existing project that requires additional effort to enable further development?

So I assume the Lemmy devs should be good to reapply.

Here’s a handy site to check your federation status: https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=social.packetloss.gg

It looks like all the sites are lagging, which can sometimes mean there is an issue. What’s the specs of the server? Can you try restarting it and seeing if that helps?

There are issues for servers hosted in places like Australia because of the latency in communicating with .world due to how big it is and how much data it sends because of this.

Pop got me into Linux in July 2021 (i switched the same time as the steamdeck was announced) and I ran Pop for a good two and a half years. Great distro.

Now I’m on EndeavourOS, but it was Pop that helped me make the transition.

+1 for pop, used it for 2 years with very few issues on an nvidia gpu

This incorrectly lists Lemmy.zip as federated - we’ve been defederated for months.

I dont think this site is accurate.

The tories have been villains since 2010. Plenty of Russian money still floating around there I’m sure.

Have only seen the clip of the LMG employee saying what they said from GN’s video, but seems quite an over-reaction from GN and the other company IMO. Definitely some form of baiting for views, even if parts of the video are valid.

c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com rule 3:

Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles

Literally wasn’t even an issue. Its a bad take by power tripping admins spurred on by a troll. All-round terrible decision.

Also comparing a Lemmy community to Pirate Bay is a gross exaggeration.

The communities discuss piracy, not host the content. They are two different things.

The user that requested it was a troll account create dhours before. The same user then went on to create a transphobic community and post hate. Not the sort of person the admins should be knee jerking to.

I’d say Nginx Proxy Manager is the easiest reverse proxy I’ve used.

While I appreciate that, the issues caused by lemmy.world to many other admins can be monumental. If the instance goes down, it causes many people to wonder why federation has stopped working, despite the fact the home server is fine. All that content in one place is not only against the point of federation, its a risk to the existence of lemmy if the owner just decided to walk away tomorrow. While im sure he wont, and im sure many users would try to recreate or move communities elsewhere if he did, a large core percentage of lemmy wouldnt come back, and that is the risk.

As I said, I sympathise with their technical issues, hell this instance has had hours of downtime because of SQL queries, but claiming they aren’t too big is not a valid response. Just because imbalanced instances happens elsewhere doesn’t mean it isn’t an issue here, especially because of the problems with the back end.

Their refusal to acknowledge the complete imbalance, or to do anything about it, is IMO an actual problem for lemmy.

Ps it’s OK to disagree with me, but I’d rather people explain why than just downvote. Can’t have a proper discussion with a downvote.

Ah no, sorry, while I sympathise with your technical issues, the rest of your post is disingenuous at best.

Lemmy.world being too big is bad for Lemmy as a product/software/“brand” etc - your downtime, being the instance most people link to, is a LOT of people’s first impression and when it spends time being down, people associate THAT downtime with Lemmy, and not the hundreds of other instances that don’t have downtime.

The issue isn’t even about you being the biggest instance, its the absolute imbalance in both users and communities on one instance and you willingly allowing it continue. If you genuinely cared about Lemmy, you would close registrations now.

You have enough “technical” people to build your own instance from the source code with that change for the banner built in (and you could go ahead and submit the PR/Issue anyway), but you haven’t - instead placing the blame on the developers. Hell, you only made the PR 5 hours ago after weeks of other admins asking you to close the instance.

You could even make the simple change to the sign up link instead lead to join-lemmy, but for whatever reason you want to continue to be the biggest instance and don’t care about the wider lemmy ecosystem and the effect that it has.

They’re not dodgy links.

I mean they’ll probably benefit from some sort of CDN, and CF being free really helps keep costs down. Are there alternatives you’d suggest?

It kind of amazes me that they’ve not been using one up until recently given their size. I’m anti-lemmy.world but I do sympathise with their technical issues.

My understanding (from running an instance) is that this isn’t something cloudflare is going to help with, it’s the database on these instances locking up. It happens to my and multiple other instances too, and i have monitoring from multiple sources so I get notified and can restart the server/docker containers. Improvements should come in the next lemmy versions.

Badger is the OG, but Pork holds a special place in my heart.

There is already an update. 0.18.2-rc1

You can apply it now.
