Yes I know they’re getting DDoSed, I’m just messing around
Lemmynsfw: spread the load, you say?
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.
block the porn communities or disable NSFW, that’s what I did (at least before lemmy.blahaj.zone defederated from them)
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
Almost definitely, it’s hard to imagine there’s a community on lemmy.world that not one of the 20k users have susbcribed to
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
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!
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.
what if every instance used the lemmy community seeder?
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!!
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. :)
Due to me only really using my phone for 3rd party youtube and lemmy, I decided, after thinking the other day “if .world goes down again, I’m gonna create an alt just as a backup.”
And then it happened last kigjt, so I’ve made 3 new ones, just as a safety backup. Now I’ve heard of LASIM. It was super easy.
For what I understood isn’t really the load caused by the users but the load caused by targeted DDOS attacks. Why would anyone attack a Lemmy instance? Humanity…
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.
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.

Just kidding… But you know what I mean.
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!
Yeah! Leave Gandalf’s stash alone, smoke Saruman’s instead.
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.
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.
Spread the Load!
That’s what she said.

I’m doing my part! Like, I literally have a computer at home that I’m using as my own instance, couldn’t be doing my part any further than that (unless I invite my family to join the server)
I remember when it was lemmy.ml that was burning down. I might have been partly responsible for that
Signups are open on my instance up to 100ish users. I run scripts to auto-federate popular content, so it’s pretty bumping.
Do you use LCS or lemony? Just curious
Both, actually.
I, personally, use Lemmony on my instance. It’s a solid tool.
please delete this cousin
.world is so unstable that at this point its future is uncertain and I am ready to completely migrate either to beehaw or to some other instance.
I would move to a smaller instance (though I still check their /all on occasion). However, I wouldn’t choose Beehaw, as they’ve defederated from some large instances.
The way BeeHaw is run makes me wonder why they even bother with federation. They want a safe space.
Beehaw is an old instance (two years, so “old” is relative). They have their own thing going on, and didn’t want to change their groove for the influx of redditors.
I get that, but their mission seems to be against the concept of federation. They want a safe space.
I created a lemm.ee account, and I might just mainly go on there instead of this one (or .world).
Performance on lemm.ee is pretty solid, world was my original instance but it’s just my backup now. Hopefully whatever vulnerabilities that are being used to DDoS them can be patched soon.
I’ve been pretty happy on lemm.ee. I had an account on .world but set this up when I had issues connecting, my original was .ml which I switched from for similar reasons. Here’s hoping lemm.ee can remain stable going forward, I’m trying to use the same username for consistency but its a pain losing comment history/ account age when hopping instances.
