Rightfully so.
Lemmy servers are hosted by just some people that often don’t even accept donations, shoulder the entire legal liability and are sys admin all together by themselves.
And then there is the clownshow reddit being a gigantic company and not even able to not be a gigantic shitshow.
Cuz you can just use another smaller instance, as you should.
Lemmy.zip and lemm.ee are cool
Everyone talking about how small and better lemm.ee is really starting to give “have you heard about this hidden gem The Witcher 3?” vibes.
lemm.ee isn’t even that small. It’s the 6th largest active lemmy instance iirc
Hidden. Gem.
That’s kind of what you want, though. A big enough operation that it probably won’t just disappear or start enforcing really arbitrary and unreasonable rules, but small enough that it’s not like lemmy.world.
For all the people that like to talk about having access to the whole fediverse and decide for themselves who to block…
mander.xyz and ttrpg.network are both rather niche instances in their own right, but don’t defederate, and I don’t believe are defederated by, anyone.
No one join them and say/do anything toxic though, don’t ruin a good thing for me lol
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=Lh7V2_uJhkY
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Shhhh
Yeah, .zip represent

Careful, you might have to interact with spooky scary communists if you switch it up!
That’s what happened to me and I’m radicalized now.

Has lemmy.world defederated from lemmygrad?
I mean that is the problem of too many people being on that one instance.
I really blame Sync for defaulting to lemmy.world, imo lemmy.world should close to new registrations, at least while they’re figuring things out.
I moved instances after the downtime when Sync came out, it’s been smooth sailing since
I just did the move. Tired of having the website offline and no info. Will delete the account soon
Thinking of the same thing, but if I delete my account on an instance, do the comments and posts from that account also get deleted?
Reddthat is worse tho
I haven’t really had any issue, and was happy enough to donate to them. I joined a few instances for various reasons, but reddthat is my main
Not really
IF you want to switch to an alternative instance use the tool Lasim to synchronize your accounts: synchronize subscriptions, settings and/or blocks. Tool is available for Windows, Linux and MacOs.
Just tried macOS. Didn’t work.
Probably because lemmy.world is down again.
Wait for lemmy.world to be back up and try again. If you can’t login on the web, the tool won’t be able to login either.
Oh that’s a pity. Switched from lemmy.world to feddit.nl flawlessly today. Using Windows though.
My MAC wouldn’t let me run the .exe because of security. Am I supposed to bypass security?
Did you download the zip for MacOS? Exe is only for Windows I believe?
And I don’t know if you are supposed to bypass security. I only have very limited Mac experience.
I may try again later. I have a windows pc I can try it on.
As tea@lemmy.today said, make sure www.lemmy.world is online. If you cant visit www.lemmy.world then the tool won’t work either.
Tbh I’ve just stopped using my world account at this point. Lemmy.ca has been much more reliable so far lol.
Until a moose power - fucks the servers
As long as it’s filmed for the content. Need to feed the meme machine.
If only federation existed… and other instances existed…
I made an account on sdf.org because I got tired of lemmy.world’s servers going down. But I found out that SDF’s servers often go down, too…

I’m doing pretty good so far.
Gotta love decentralised shit
wjats so good about lemmy.world compared to lemmy.ml
More letters
Lemmy.world is run by the same people as mastodon.world. I guess a lot of users from mastodon.world went to Lemmy.world and the rest was word of mouth.
I think the name does a lot of heavy lifting in regards to pulling in new users. It sounds more official or general because of the world part.
Yeah, people just want a “generic” place because they generally don’t want to be pidgeon holed. I have nice and inoffensive lemmy.world and lemmy.today accounts because of this. I’m basically a vanilla NPC in my life and “sh.itjust.works” is simply too spicy!
I’m on the spicy instance? I couldn’t tell.
This is more or less what I thought when I first joined.
Also Sync has it as default.
I think the draw is that it’s trying really hard to basically be Reddit on the fediverse. For the people who use the fediverse as a Reddit alternative that is probably seen as good.
For the rest of us: that shit’s lame as hell
To each their own though
I agree, they’re speedrunning every bad decision that allows Reddit to be such a festering reactionary shithole.
The Reddit refugee wave is mad about Apollo not the fact Reddit sucks lol.
I heard lemmy.ml is run by genocide denying tankies so that put me off from it a little
Up time 76% on lemmy.world // last 24h.
No message from any of their admis.
Outside attack : usual shitheads. And ifLMLW fails, they will attack the next big one.Edit #1 : LM is Lemmy.world
Edit #2 : oups LW … not LM
Edit #3 : Lemmy.World status
Edit #4 : from 4am utc //24h :
users who wanted LM explanation :
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Is that info publicly available?
LW is currently down (for me, at least) and I’m curious if it tends to happen at the same time every day.
From the sidebar of the main page of lemmy.world, so :
That 76% was 2 hours ago, now at 74%
What is LM?
Little Mix
Googling returns nothing. Thanks troll
Sorry about the troll. Here’s a serious answer: LM actually stands for laborious meandering.
Yes lol well, this is my hobby.
I find radio and TV mostly boring.
Here we have many nice people, liberty of speech and very low social pressure.
Lemmy is Fun 😄
indeed Snowden is a real hero !
thanks for your kind comments 😋 !
Please notice the edit of my previous comment answering your question.
LM?

Understandable since one is a government funded
psyop running on servers in the basement of the FBI building. The other is Reddit.Ayyyyyyy.
elaborate?
I use my dad’s basement to store my server computer and I have a lemmy instance there. And my dad works for the FBI as a janitor (he’s old so he bought the house for cheap).
Can confirm, I’m the bartender at the FBI (Fred’s Burgers & Iced Tea, we’re still working on the acronym though).
I work in the same department on the HexBear server, someone clogged the toilet again (whoever it is uses way too much toilet paper, they just keep wrapping), Anyways to save space we keep our Lemmy instances in the bathroom and the shitwater got to it.
I switched to lemm.ee, it’s much more stable since it’s not constantly being attacked by script kiddies. I have a theory a user got banned, and is making it their personal mission to ruin .world’s performance. Please donate to your home instance owner(s) if they have that set up. Even if it’s just a little, it can make everyone’s experience better.
That wouldn’t surprise me, I’ve seen ddos’s against smaller servers over dumber things.
But given that they preemptively ban instances for not supporting NATO and the IMF and don’t preemptively ban nazi, transphobe, and pedophile instances, fuck em.
The fediverse is weaker if .world is allowed to color people’s perception of Lemmy.
Reddit servers down? Didn’t notice
this is the opposite on reddit (obvious reasons). ppl go ham when someone mentions lemmy.world is down lol
Which is especially funny since you can just log into a different instance and keep browsing, unlike with Reddit.
