@ruud - Lemmy.World
Admin of a lot of fediverse servers. See my accounts on Keyoxide [https://keyoxide.world/hkp/0BCE3A7061CF0D42952A3A985CB7103EFB4C95CF] I receive a lot of messages, direct and mentions. I can’t reply to them all. If you have an issue, please e-mail at [email protected]
LastHe’s doing great. Do you even read what he posts?
It’s like every half day at this point
001100 010010Tired of the problems of large instances? Join the small instances alliance! 😎
chrisOr even better: host your own so you can be the reason the instance is down.
Host my own? In this economy?
But think of all the IT security you can ignore.
TimeSquirrelYou don't need to rent some big shot cloud hosting system. You can literally run it on a Raspberry Pi or a virtual machine on your existing computer.
It’s bad enough self hosting a Discord bot and getting yelled at randomly when it goes down
cries in selfhosted email server
RicazNever again…
Is there an easy way to transfer subs to another account?
vassie
Thanks!

WrenPerhaps this or this? I’ve not used either myself, but I’ve seen the first one mentioned a few times
bdonvrWe have room for more over at thelemmy.club!
We even have built in Voyager at app.thelemmy.club - and MLMYM (an old.reddit clone) at old.thelemmy.club
Metal ZealotAaaaand it’s down again.
I tried suggesting to someone to move to another instance. I got accused of pushing an “agenda”, lol. Is lemmy.world reaching Reddit fanboy-ism mentality?
I started with lemmy.world but haven’t used it since like the second day lol
lemmy.world is great to start on but I want to switch to a smaller but more local instance really. I dont know how to search for an instance thats in my region
This might help
DaveWhat region?
There are lots of tools that list instances but ultimately it might be better to ask for opinions.
Im thinking that too, southeast US
Hopefully someone finds this and can suggest something.
I had a look on lemmyverse.net but there don’t seem to be any location-based servers for the south east. Perhaps pick a general US-based server, or one themed around a hobby?
Probably go to a few and check the local feed. The main difference between servers will be the local feed, so find a server where that’s somewhat active and has content you want to see. I think it’s a good idea to aim for a server with 500-5,000 users so the local feed is somewhat useful.
Meanwhile, me on kbin.social doing 90% of my reading and posting on lemmy.world.
Kbin’s odd, Is it a mix of Mastodon and Lemmy in one?
From what I understand, “Magazines” are Communities/Subreddits, “Threads” are posts in those Magazines, and Microblogs are the comments in those Threads? But you can Boost posts?
I’m curious how cross posting works between Mastodon/Kbin
As far as I can tell, "boosting" is like an upvote that carries across instances. The regular upvote/downvotes stay on Kbin. I haven't even touched the "microblog" thing yet because I have no idea how to use it. But the rest is spot on.
Just tested posting on Kbin, it seems Boosting is singular to Kbin. Voting acts the same and shows the same number, boosting doesnt affect the vote count.
Maybe it’s more meant for integration with Mastodon.
Unless I’m wrong, any Kbinners are welcome to correct me
Metal_ZealotHello me, meet the real me
Thanks for the correction.
We must endure so that future generations may benefit!
I unironically how I think about it.
Antik 👾Thank you for your service
Having an account on a downed is bad since if it’s down it blocks your interactions everywhere. Log into another instance and use it. You still create content for that instance.
That’s another big question for the fediverse: if there should be privacy oriented instancies to register, other than those you visit. One Mastodone one was SWATed by FBI, so it’d be an organic development to disperse even further.
Cosmonaut_CollinWould it make sense to create my own instance just to host my account and avoid all maintenance and down times of instances?
anolemmiI meaaaan. I’m sure the maintenance isn’t being done just for the fun of it. Presumably if you ran your own instance it would just be you doing the maintenance instead of somebody else.
But I could also give myself a cool address.
I mean no arguments here, that’s what I did ;)
Looking to grow my instance eventually, but for now I’m just getting the hang of everything and making sure I can keep a server stable without issues.
Happy to report it’s been pretty easy peasy and up and running for the last 10 days or so. I ran updates on it once which went through without trouble, so I’m not sure what kind of maintenance the folks at Lemmy.world are having to do. I’d guess besides the DDOS attacks, probably maintenance related to their databases and server resources since they serve so many.
I’d let you on mine if you’re interested, but I can’t make big promises and you’d pretty much be helping me beta test. Again though so far so good, I’m getting a reasonably good mix on my feed.
𝕽𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖎𝖊𝖘𝖙Not to mention, Lemmy.world admins have said it’s mostly been due to ddos attacks. What’s to stop the people ddosing them to turn their sights on smaller instances?
What’s to stop the people ddosing them to turn their sights on smaller instances?
I don’t think they are doing it out of some deep-seated hate for Lenny.
I imagine they are script kiddies looking for attention and bringing down your instance with one or two users probably isn’t on their radar
probably it’s just not worth it attacking smaller instances? lemmy.world is such a juicy target given how big it is.
I had the same thought, just so I could be a community of one and host just enough to create an account and port it over via federation
sixtyShit just works 😎
Shit just works 😎
Lol you commented twice, I assume shit didn’t work and you didn’t see the first comment go through
Imma blame that on Connect 🤫
More reddit clones than lemmy world
I really don’t like blocking the same sub a bunch of times, and you guys aren’t unique
ElPussyKangarooMemes here have been really good 😂🤣
