As a .world user, if you read this, it’s back up ^^
I have a NSFW account and I thought I was posting from that when I saw this haha
The post was federated to .world. I think you aeing it shows that is back up and running.
.world user here. What did I miss now? Is it possible to migrate my account to another instance?
Just make a new account. Its not like there is any advantage to migrating an account.
Nope, unless maybe if you run your own or are friends with an admin.
…but what exactly happened? Do I even need to switch…?
If you sort comments by upvotes in your app, you will see what happened as the top comment. But it was a temporary problem, no need to panic for that reason.
But I agree with others, users should spread out to more instances to help keep the fediverse healthy and other instances active. Otherwise we encourage Reddit 2.0.
I have never used lemmy.world myself, because it goes against the fediverse idea to flock together on the same instance.
I see, thanks! And I agree with you. I just picked .world bcs, being a former Reddit user, I had no idea where to get started and just picked one…
I did the same, and then later I made a new account
Isn’t there an export / import feature to aid in moving to a different instance?
Becoming tribal about which instance someone registered to is pretty hilarious.
“Rascists are irrational and terrible bigots, and also Lemmy.world people are inhuman scum who should be wiped out.” - They think without the barest hint of self awareness or irony.
People have pretty valid issues with the way the team runs Lemmy.world. It’s nothing against the users though. They were just lazy or whatever and just chose the largest instance, giving the staff there power, causing them to behave as if they run the fediverse. It’s honestly an issue that people don’t spread out more. If you’re a Lemmy.world user and reading this, you should consider migrating. It isn’t that hard and keeps Lemmy from becoming Reddit 2.0 by ensuring no instance has too much control.
How? And where to?
I find it cute as long as people are just fooling around, joking about why THEIR same instance is the best. I can play that!
But when people are seriously like “all people from .ml/.world/whatever are scum”, this is where it gets weird.
At the oppression olympics, lemmy.world users take home the gold easily. People of color, women, lgbt ppl, etc never had a chance
lol. why would people downvote this solid sarcasm? too comfortable in their own privilege…
They’re a .ml user. 50/50 odds it isn’t sarcasm.
And regardless of .ml bias, it doesn’t read like (obvious) sarcasm, nor does it include “/s”. It’s Schrödinger’s Sarcasm at best.
Hell I’ll say it without sarcasm.
I’m a .ml peasant so they have to pretend it’s not funny
“Pretend”
Ha probably .ml bias
Lemmy.world is gone? What happened/is happening?
outbound federation was down here for a bit. meme is kinda out of context now since it’s working again lol
I’m not dead yet!
Are you sure?
sigh
what is it this time?
Right now I can access it. They seem to have a status page https://fhf-lemmyworld.instatus.com/ that says that earlier today there were some problems for approximately an hour? I don’t have more information than that.
It may be my own instance which is having trouble. The past 3 days of posts to !programmer_humor@programming.dev have sub-100 points which suggests posts aren’t getting broadcast to everyone else.
Edit: looks like it’s fixed now. !meta@programming.dev
Productivity drops to zero the moment the drama starts 😂
Man I just use this because Reddit is bullshit. What’s wrong with lemmy.world?
For the same reasons Reddit sucks. They got too large and they think they’re in charge of Lemmy now. The staff there have a lot of issues, and they think they can use their power to control Lemmy. I’d recommend leaving, because users being spread out is what makes Lemmy resistant to the issues that made Reddit horrible. It’s fairly easy to change instances.
Aww what happened ?
Without it, everything stops.
