Yes I know it’s free and run with donations and the code has scaling issues, I’m 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
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.
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
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!
What are the few fringes here ?
Check out lemmyverse.net and look at instances
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.
what if every instance used the lemmy community seeder?
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.
Duck Spez
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.
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. :)
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:

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.
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
I’m from Chile so i joined through feddit.cl 🇨🇱
we are the best country of Chile.
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 DenmarkI always enjoy finding new instances!
Spread the Load!
That’s what she said.

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.
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.
It doesn’t help that the donation links still are just for Mastodon world, with no clear way to even find the donation links from Lemmy world. They put out a posting for sysadmins with part time hours for free… As a sysadmin I definitely don’t have time for that shit. Maybe they could make the donation links more obvious and try to hire actual staff if they need help.
Both sites are sharing the same infra IIRC, hence the donation links pointing elsewhere
I have been here for months and still have no idea what this means
That’s probably a bad sign
The site you make your account on is your home server (instance). That server takes on the job of processing your data when you use lemmy. Your home server is lemmy.world, mine right now is lemm.ee
If a lot of people use the same home server, it gets expensive for the team running that server, the meme is about lemmy.world having issues with downtime because of this. You can have whatever home server you want and still access anything on the fediverse, so if you join a smaller instance as your home server, by literally making a new account on a different lemmy site, you can still use lemmy exactly the same (use your app to look at all instead of local) but spread the load so big instances like lemmy.world don’t have too much strain. Doing this is good for the long term health of the fediverse.
Basically lemmy.world is the largest lemmy instance by a country mile, and so it keeps going down because of DDos attacks and just sheer load Maybe you haven’t noticed because the client/app you use just shows old posts until it can connect to the server again
Yep! I made an account on my current instance after starting on one of the bigger ones. I still have my old one just in case. But now that some of the smaller communities I followed have started coming in it feels identical!
I also have an account on a larger instance, and I use this to back up settings and subscriptions Works on basically all platforms!
Yeah, I have heard of that and tried using it but I couldn’t get it to run. I just ended up doing it manually as I didn’t have that many communities anyways.
I get an error “ERROR: Cannot write file - profile_v2.json: Access is denied. (os error 5)” anytime I try to use it.
are you on Linux? maybe there is a permissions issue with that file / folder
