Plot twist: it’s the lemmy.ml team doing the ddos’ing
I mean they did say the attackers had intimate knowledge of Lemmy so…
who is doing the ddosing is prime material for conspiracy theories
Conspiracy theorists are doing the ddosing
“Can’t have a problem if I’m the problem”
points to head
Lemmy.world is ddosing themselves to make them look like a victim so that people will flock to their instance in support
no i’m not
It’s all a LARP!
It’s obviously funded by spez
Ugh. For five peaceful seconds I’d forgotten about that ungainly rat.
It’s like the game but with Spez
Screw you, I forgot about the game.
How about letting sh.itjust.works take the place, because their shit seems to always just works.
We have a uptime thats beyond reasonable, there were some smaller problems some days ago, but they just made things a little slower.
And Lemmyml is full of tankies.
There are however many other instances as well, being on many small ones eases the burden for all and makes single point of failure problems less likely.
100% agree. I’m yet to notice programming.dev go down which makes sense when you consider the target demographic and that the admins probably fit right into it.
I feel so safe here lol
I love how this is now similar to when people would have usernames relevant to the conversation in Reddit.
Now, y’all just swoop in with the relevant instance 😂
Once I made my non-world account here, Lemmy is like a whole new rock solid experience!
Combined with the choice in apps, even though they’re still evolving, it’s great.
Yeah, it’s incredible how your choice of instance can give you a completely different experience (in terms of stability). Still, you can sub to any community you want, so your instance is irrelevant, unless it’s defederated from a server you like.
Yeah, I think there’s a sweet spot in using a mid sized instance such as this. It’s big enough to have a bunch of users hitting communities all over the fediverse, and to have some resources dedicated to the server, but small enough to have its own identity and not be a target.
The magic happens because of how your home instance caches communities from other instances. So your experience depends on the reliability of the instance you’re using, but not so much the reliability of other instances(within reason).
Which was part of my reasoning for joining there, along with the fact that I’m a dev myself so it aligns with my interests.
If you think lemmy.ml is full of tankies, you should check out https://lemmygrad.ml and https://hexbear.net. They are a hundred times worse
The two others are defederated by most because they are mostly actual commie nazis than anything else.
I hope mine, lemm.ee, defederates from those instances too
You can check that, bottom of the page and instances.
Well, if not come to Shitjustworks, we defederated from lemmygrad (hexbear is basically irrelevant, I’ve never seen a post from there, just some idiots I’ve blocked)
I back this, as a sh.ithead
You have my bow
it just works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just an anecdote, but I’ve been waiting for (I think) close to 36 hours for the email verification to complete my sign-up there. Since there’s no way to resend it, I’ve been stuck in sign-up limbo.
Meh, I can create an account using a Temp Email address. What’s your email provider?
I’ve tried creating two accounts with the same issue. One with a Gmail address and one with a Fastmail account. Neither has received a verification email. I’ve checked the spam folders on both too.
Hello from my new account at sh.itjust.works. I just created this, you can check my profile. I used a temp email: temp-mail[dot]org
After you sign up, you can change the email to some random invalid email so your account is safe from getting hijacked via password reset through email. Changing email doesn’t require re-verification as far as I can tell.
Perhaps your IP got flagged for some reason. Are you using a VPN or Tor? Those may trigger some spam filters. Is your network a public one? (Eg: University, Hospital, Workplace, etc.)
That’s really weird. I’ve been staying at a hotel the last few days and maybe the IP is flagged for some reason, like you said. Well, I guess those two handles are just lost then.
Ah yes, so they have another large instance to ddos
Use smaller instances like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee. You know, the entire point of decentralization.
It’s not just about users though, we need to separate communities as well. There are so many communities on lemmy.world currently.
Lemmy needs a refpost system where you can choose to post articles to different instances that link together.
You then can get all the benefits of centralization without necessarily being centralized.
How long will it take, do you think, for lemm.ee to become one of the bigger instances? I keep seeing people mention it, and that’s why I’m here.
lemm.ee is larger than lemmy.ml by active users monthly, as such it’s already the second largest instance. Don’t let the “total users” number confuse you: lemmy.ml is ancient and is bound to have many inactive accounts.
It still has one eighth the users of world. World is just absolutely huge compared to the rest.
Wow, didn’t know that. Makes sense why I see so many lemm.ee users then
Ig it shouldn’t be recommended as a smaller instance then
I actually migrated to lemmy.ca, eh, since lemmy.world is down half the fucking time. I have enemies to destroy, and I don’t got time for that shit.
Lemmy.ca is the superior instance and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
is it canada or california based? or is it neither and just the domain they happened to pick?

Canada
Use small instances. I’ve never had trouble on lemdro.id.
How do I even find other instances? Not trying to sound like a turd, I just legitimately haven’t looked into it at all yet
Not a competition.

Only competition should be Reddit not other instances
Meanwhile me on lemmy.zip -
grabs popcorn
I truly dislike .zip domain names tho
Is it due to the scammy potential uses of the domain?
Yeah, I truly don’t understand how it became a top domain
Kbin.social has been incredibly solid recently
I’m a big fan, just wish it didn’t block so much nsfw stuff
I feel like it’s been pretty solid the whole time.
First couple weeks were pretty rough, but it’s been real smooth sailing since that all got smoothed out
Yeah I almost claimed the whole time too, but that felt like I’d be lying by omitting those early days.
because we don’t have a fascist tankie at the helm 😎
lemmy.sdf.org is a nice instance.
Lmao
It’ll be back eventually, bigger and stronger than before 💪
we just took a nap
It’ll be back eventually, bigger and stronger than before 💪
