Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
How do you feel about the massive influx of users?
Given the timeouts and load issues I've had on lemmy.ml today... Mildly concerned.
I'm part of the problem though, and really hopeful it goes well! Seems like the solution to the Giant Network problem we see at Reddit, Twitter, FB, etc
Every time I hear ding, I start laughing. ๐
I just hope that it will be more distributed than Matrix and not everyone registers on lemmy.ml (matrix.org in case of matrix) so the decentralization works for real here instead of 90% (exaggerating, don't know the numbers) of the user base sitting on one instance :)
Iโm super excited for the potential this has. Happy to be here and hoping to help build a great online community with you all!
God, site is so SLOW. They need to bring new servers, maybe charge extra for each api call? IDK
Whilst Iโm somewhat sad to be here (Reddit has eaten up a significant portion of my time over the past 10+ years), Iโm happy to be learning new things and exploring a new way of doing things.
I honestly thought this would reduce my screen time as Reddit is on the top of the list. But here I am at Lemmy lol.
I think honestly Lemmy just needs more mobile clients. Jerboa is ok, but third party clients are needed here like they are/were with reddit
Guys, what are you on about.
It's very clear that Lemmy is dead on arrival.
Don't you see it?
/s
That person is saying it like it's a bad thing that signing up isn't brain-dead.
It's cool The reason why I even joined lemmy is that the administration here allow magnet links
Man, I been waiting for this for years. I thought with the way Mastodon grew it'd eventually grow into a wider growth among the fediverse but it seems to happen in fits and starts. Glad to see people are federating too and not all dumping into just the mainline instance.
Next I'd like to see major names move off YouTube and Twitch onto decentralized platforms but that's gonna take much more to get there, unfortunately.
You know, it just occured to me yesterday that there might be a federated version of reddit. Looked it up and I was pleasantly surprised to see it's actually picking up a lot of users. Now if we could see a mobile app as polished as rif is fun, I'll be extremely happy. Move over reddit, let's go lemmy!
Just wondering though, how scalable is lemmy? What kind of hardware/connection would you need to host your own instance?
Lemmy go brrrrr
I'm happy for users to join the federated alternative!
A nice website for looking for servers, platforms, and user numbers over time is: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Also handy for getting a picture of how many lemmy servers there are and how big they are.
Hell yeah brother
it's cool
Honestly this platform is welcoming & people are dignified through conversations. Also informative.
I think we really need to address the scaling issue, one option could be to use clichhouse instead of postgres
