Mixup knows a thing or two about taking breaks. They took a three day break from pooping.

Lemmy.world is getting hugged to death

Lol, this “a few weeks” thread

What a clown show.

I’ll bet money that multiple people will successfully monetize parts of it.

At the very least, my guess is some small shops will build businesses around apps that offer enhanced users experiences, but for fees. I’d be willing to pay for premium experiences that were well maintained.

My guess is that it will get sorted out in the near future. Everyone is complaining about it. First problem to fix was scaling and stability though.

Ghostalmedia, 11 months ago

On a somewhat related note, how are you coping with the scaling from the Reddit migration?

Ghostalmedia, 11 months ago

Lemmy’s sorting logic needs love. This is the first time it’s really been pressure tested with tens of thousands of simultaneous active users. Were learning that the current logic tends to promote content longer than some people like.

If people are still commenting and voting on a 3 day old posts, those post remain promoted.

This is awesome, but also, Lemmy is totally being hugged to death right now.

Meanwhile, my driveway was reporting 102 in Oakland. 💀

The admins might be closing registration because their instance (server) is being hugged to death with the Reddit migration.

I’d advise signing up with a smaller server. You’ll still be able to subscribe and post to Lemmy.ml communities from another server.

Fair point. Tye small one’s Re being hugged to death and aren’t letting any more people in, so people are gravitating towards the juggernauts, and the juggernauts are collapsing under their weight. 

Next couple weeks should be interesting

The big user experience problem is everyone is getting funneled into Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml, and they can’t scare fast enough.

But Lemmy is federated. So signup for a smaller instance. You’ll still be able to subscribe and post to communities on other instances.

Have at it. First ones I banged out in about an hour, but after looking at them on my phone, some stuff just didn’t scale well. Also that gradient background in the sandbox was just a screenshot of something I liked. Probably “fair use” but it wasn’t too hard to make some new gradients.

I got you fam: SVG inbound

Ghostalmedia, 11 months ago

Yeah, I can clean that one up. I think there is something silly / unique with that approach.

Ghostalmedia, 11 months ago

Let me see what I can do

Ghostalmedia, 11 months ago

Thanks kind Lemmitor!

Ghostalmedia, 11 months ago

Ghostalmedia, 11 months ago

It is not always slow. The user growth is outpacing the infrastructure growth.
