Well, as pretty much the biggest instance, it provides the best data for load-testing. π«£
All Lemmy instances are test environments right now. It's just that lemmy.world is being tested the hardest.
It's a good reminder that other large instances (lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, reddthat.com, sopuli.xyz) usually offer higher uptime while showing the same content as LW
My issue with the smaller instances is that I enjoy browsing Local, and this is typically not as active or interesting on there. Is there a way to browse lemmy.world's Local from another instance?
Local makes sense for a country or field focused instance (queer rights, programming, even porn or whatever), not so much for generalist instances, unfortunately.
The way you use local only makes sense now as most of the communities are on LW. Once a few of them start to branch out (such as lemdro.id or startrek.website), if you want to see that content, you will either subscribe or use all
Honestly I really donβt like that model. I only subscribe to communities I am active in and all is just porn spam. Local is 100% the best way to browse right now.
Every Lemmy update:
"We fixed some performance issues by optimising some queries."
Also: "To balance it out, we added some new even more inefficient queries."
How else are they supposed to patch things out? can't leave it up to fate, gotta make your own destiny!
Huh, isn't this instance only?
I just think tried from Connect for Lemmy in this comment and I couldn't.
Thank you for the update!
(And what caused this)
Prediction: bad database programming. ;)
Are we extracting enough value out of our volunteer developers and DBAs?!
The beatings will continue until morale improves!
Or clever denial of service attacks
Thanks for keeping us updated. FYI i noticed an issue there was an error message saying to check (the matix) and (somewhere else, Lemmy community support?). Both of them pointed to the same URL, but im sure they were meant to point to different places.
Edit. Happed again and I took notes. Both point to lemmy.ml community support
It seems to start at roughly the same hour every day, at around 01:20 UTC
Yup. We might be on to something now
Another DDOS attack?
