[META] The merger from lemmy.world has locked out k.bin members. [FIXED]
Is this being worked on/looked at? I ask since the post mentioned discussion was happening with the .id admins but I haven’t seen any answers about whether that’s a priority (it seems Lemdro.id is the one that needs to federate with k.bin).
Just kinda bummed since I use kbin the vast majority of this time.
Edit: ah cool, quick turnarounds are sexy. Thanks @cole!
Edit: A fix has been deployed, and federation should work now. Unfortunately, kbin.social is taking its sweet time federating with us, it is probably overloaded. Lemdro.id is already accessible from other kbin instances such as fedia.io (fedia.io/m/android@lemdro.id)
Hello! Admin here at lemdro.id. This is the result of several problems in the lemmy default reference nginx config. I am working on resolving this right now and should have it fixed within the next 30 minutes!
Once you’ve finished updating it, can you share the changes you made to your Nginx config? If the default references have issues with them, I’d like to make sure mine doesn’t have the same problems.
Thanks! I use my own deployment that uses Caddy, and I based it on their example Caddyfile. But it looks like I might be good. Their reference Caddyfile accepts application/* with an asterisk, which seems to sidestep this issue entirely!
Not sure if this is related, but I tried replying to a comment from a user on kbin, and my instance wouldn’t send the reply. They still have federated posts and top-level comments though, even mine. Maybe their queue is just overloaded.
I’m happy to see the merger and happy to see /r/Android show up on Lemmy. I think it’s nice to see it move off of Lemmy.world. as well. It will help lighten the load.
Man, I’m really not feeling the community merge. Moving the 5th biggest lemmy.world community to one that’s like 12x smaller in subscription size feels like an unnecessary hit to any momentum it had. Especially because asking people who moved places like Reddit to move again does not sound like a good idea (though obviously less effort than moving to another website).
I do hope I’m completely wrong though and hope this comm gains lots of traction. Moving to an instance dedicated to tech does sounds like a good idea (although I don’t know the benefits yet). Also, if it had to happen, better now than later.
To check real community size you need to go to the “community home” instance and check there. When you do it from your instance/app, you see number of subscribers fromy your insnce only.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, truly. The hope is to actually have better accessibility from across the Fediverse with the move. Lemmy.world is grappling with some challenges that come along with its scale, including being de-federated from Beehaw. Lemdro.id currently maintains federation with both and, with the fixes Cole made to the Lemmy Nginx config, should be accessible just fine from Fedia as well.
One major plus here is also our time zone coverage for moderation. Steve and Devgard help fill out our moderator time zone spread, which is quite comprehensive now. We're already seeing attempts at spam in the Fediverse and moderator tools aren't quite there yet... so the manual efforts are pretty key!
