TrashMeNot

Cheers! Thank you for all your hard work maintaining the instance.

Yet you give in out of desperation only to find the subreddit is private.

The 502 error with Lemmy.ml due to connecting with IPv6. Once I disabled that on my computer, everything loaded. See https://lemmy.world/post/120796

Something must have happened during the upgrade yesterday and DNS isn’t pointing correctly. Hopefully it is fixed soon.

The flood when browsing all or if you have a ton of subscriptions is a feature that’s going to be altered in the next version. It worked when submissions were coming in much slower. Now there is a ton of activity.

If you are trying to search for a community but it’s not appearing try searching:

!CommunityName@InstanceName

This will tell the server to pull community and when you subscribe, that will make that community for everyone else on the server.

Ah interesting, I guess it made sense when the community was much smaller. Seeing a new posting pop up every few minutes. Now that there are significantly more users and instances the live postings are hitting much faster, every few seconds.

The it’s fun being a refugee. Also being able to comment and get involved without being it lost to the masses. Even if it doesn’t become “mainstream” with enough seeded users who decide to stay this place can hopefully grow a nice community with a wide range of quality discussions.

What I hate the most is when there’s a bunch of different versions or models of a product and all the reviews are combined in the same page. Having to always check which model of a product they are reviewing is annoying.

It’s a bug currently, users have mentioned it will be fixed in the next version.

I purposefully moved RIF off of my home screen. My stupid muscle memory kept tapping it every time my idle brain opened the phone. Trying out Jerboa as an app for lemmy at the moment.

Then there is a central authority that encompasses the Fediverse/Lemmy. That also means one single point of failure, eg Login system goes down. Right now if one instance goes down then all of the others are unaffected.

I joined about 10 minutes ago, it was a tough decision. Do I go with a small server as an experiment? Do I go with a large one? What about self-hosting? I settled on this one after reading the post from the admin about upgrading hardware. My hope is that it will stick around, but that’s the beauty of the Fediverse. You can always join another instance if the community doesn’t work out for you.
