Plot twist: it's the lemmy.ml team doing the ddos'ing

[-] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

I mean they did say the attackers had intimate knowledge of Lemmy so…

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

That is not saying anything, the full documentation and source code is public for everyone to read.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Time to point fingers (at other instances)!!!1

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think those programming.dev guy's did it \s

Lemm.ee has been unhinged for too long!

who is doing the ddosing is prime material for conspiracy theories

It's obviously funded by spez

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Ugh. For five peaceful seconds I'd forgotten about that ungainly rat.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's like the game but with Spez

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Screw you, I forgot about the game.

[-] [email protected] 66 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago

It's not just about users though, we need to separate communities as well. There are so many communities on lemmy.world currently.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

This. I feel like world isn't prioritizing the health of the entirety of Lemmy by not closing community creation.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Isn't that up to the creators though. If world is their home instance, why would they create elsewhere? Not being able to create communities would kind of defeat the purpose.

If creators want engagement, they will create on subs with more uptime. That will likely be world in the future, when hardened. The ddos attacks aren't good for Lemmy now, but it should iron out some wrinkles in the long run for all instances. I think the world admins are doing a great job, both technically and communication wise.

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.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Isn't lemm.ee running on commercial hardware designed to take much larger server loads?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Like every other instance?

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.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't know why Hexbear's numbers are all blank (because it's newly federated?) but I would expect it to take second or third place.

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.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.ca is the superior instance and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Would be great if people spread out a bit.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

Use small instances. I've never had trouble on lemdro.id.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You could use lemmyverse.net to look what instances and communities there are

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think it usually just involves look around the comment sections. People are like "I'm on this instance, it's good blah blah blah."

In my case though I chose lemdro.id because it's an instance that centers around a topic I'm interested in.

This is the way.

Don't join big instances. There should be no main instance. Join small instances. Spread the load

lemmy.sdf.org is a nice instance.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Kbin.social has been incredibly solid recently

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm a big fan, just wish it didn't block so much nsfw stuff

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I feel like it’s been pretty solid the whole time.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

First couple weeks were pretty rough, but it's been real smooth sailing since that all got smoothed out

can't wait for them to blame another instance with no evidence whatsoever
