lemme.ee on top!!!
We chose… wisely
I don’t understand whats going on lol why did we choose wisely by picking lemm.ee?
I think the better question is why didn’t everyone else choose wisely by picking lemm.ee? /s
But for real, it’s just like the Jeep wave. See someone else on your instance in the wild? Say hello to each other and say you’re the best instance! Maybe the wave wasn’t the best comparison, but I have a Jeep so I was contractually forced to say so. I think that’s how it works anyway.
I assume because lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have so many people registered that they’re becoming very sluggish. Smaller instances like lemm.ee (and civilloquy.com!) are much easier to actually use because the servers aren’t dying.
Also Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world so they can’t see each others communities or all of each others replies on a third party server.
Lemm.ee’s admin seems technically proficient too.
I can attest that lemm.ee’s admin probably understands things better than every other admin. He helped me with a couple of shoes on my instance, and he has written multiple commits to fix bugs himself.
Atm, yes, lemm.ee is running very well.
shit fast, yo
tight tight tigh
LEMM.EE GANG
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
hey im doing just fine on vlemmy.net here
I’ve been on .world since it was smaller but I’m debating on a new instance 🤔
There are few I can recommend.
reddthat.com - reddthat is a play on the name reddit but “that” instead of “it”, sound cool, aint it? 😆
lemmy.fmhy.ml - Pirate Friendly - NSFW friendly
lemmy.dbzer0.com - Pirate Friendly - SFW only - run by former top mod of r/piracy - the instance I’m currently using
I can recommend https://thelemmy.club - purely out of self interest of course since I run it.
I like how your “self interest” is providing a free platform to strangers. More of that kind of self interest in the world please.
If we are doing play on instance names. Then I would like one named lemmy.know. As in “let me know”
That’s not a valid top level domain (TLD). Only specific letter combinations are valid. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains (technically you can apply to create a new TLD, but there’s a lot of rules and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars).
The closest existing TLD I can think of is Norway’s .no (lemmy.no).
You need to be resident of Norway to get .no though.
I saw there was a Lemmy.be
Yeah, that would be cool.
Serious question… with ‘reddthat’ or ‘feddit’ and other similar plays on words… if this absolutely takes off (and I hope it does), can Spez not sue?
Wait, we’re sfw only? But I checked the “show nsfw” button… and we’re federated with lemmynsfw.com?
SFW only for any community on dbzer0, but you can post and view nsfw when visiting other instances. We’re a pirate instance so I assume the admin don’t want to attract more attention by including potentially illegal porn. Idk why lemmy.fmhy.ml allows it tho.
Ah, so that sfw-only status is largely irrelevant to me since I mostly browse communities outside of dbzer0, except of course for c/piracy
I just switched from lemmy.world to sh.itjust.works after a day and it is completely different experience since it actually loads stuff fast
Yup same same
I agree, real fast instance
Yeah, it’s being… temperamental.
Big part of the concept of a fediverse is the decentralisation. It would be beneficial I think for more people to register on smaller-medium sized instances to help reduce the load on the large few
Or run your own, if you know how
How much does it cost to run your own instance? Do you have to pay the whole domain, server, security package with a service like cloudflare and all?
Mine is running on a €2.49 Hetzner VM. I already have a domain, so Lemmy is just set up on a subdomain. I secured it myself (that sort of thing is my day job). I don’t think I’ll need to upgrade, because it’s a closed instance with only 2 users.
All told, it would be maybe €50/year if you’re starting from nothing.
I haven’t researched it at all but I’d be very surprised if you needed anything more than a domain name (basically free as long as you don’t go for a common TLD) and somewhere to host it (literally free if you do it on a home PC but that comes with other issues). Cloudflare and extra security are nice but aren’t necessary for something like this.
Porkbun is offering the first year free for a new .dev or .app domain https://porkbun.com/event/freeappdevdomain
$10/year renewal is really cheap too in my experience.
Damn yeah that’s dirt cheap!
Bugs, bugs everywhere
This. Federation between instances is currently unreliable, there’s a fix coming in Lemmy 0.18.1.
I’m glad people are talking about this. There definitely needs to be a ‘back-fill’ protocol to capture unfederated content across instances with different ages, or to make up for dropped requests due to server load
I concur.
Woah, is that a thing?
Yes. outbound federation can get bottle-necked, and when it’s bad enough, it starts dropping content entirely.
Yeah, the processes that perform the actual federating via ActivityPub can quickly become overwhelmed, a server can develop a backlog. The solution is a combination of bug fixes by the software project and performance setting tweaks by server administrators to fine tune the federation processes
I’m playing both sides
I was going to reply with “so I always come out on top” on my lemmy.ml account but it’s down lol
.world is so slow now. Went back to lemm.ee which is blazing fast!
I predict slow performance for lemm.ee since many users are recommending it, just like how lemmy.world got recommended into oblivion and now has 70k users. Go to this website and pick a less crowded lemmy instance /node : https://the-federation.info/platform/73#drawer-opened
Omg, correction :lemmy world now has 75k + users
Just chilling here at slrpnk.net
Lemmy.world has issues with federation
Oh I thought it was just me.
nice name
sips cup’a programmer coffee
I don’t really want lemmy ml posts
Interesting thing to say - why not? Isn’t it just a generic big server like lemmy.world?
Dev is tankie
Yeh but that says nothing about the kind of people signed up for the instance though?
