or maybe we acknowledge these issues and browse lemmy for entertainment and getting away from the stresses of daily life rather than be constantly reminded of it and roped into repetitive discussions that are preaching to the choir
err, what I meant was we need to burn down the system
I tested this on multiple browsers and systems. Our All/Hot has been like this for 2 days. If I leave it long enough, multiple minutes it will sometimes load a bunch more and get stuck in weird update cascade that will use up all my RAM....
As you noticed, I had to temporarily enable DDoS protection. Someone is trying quite effectively to distract me from my activities ;p Unfortunately, this may cause some issues with the federation. I will try to cut off the traffic as soon as possible and return to normal operation. Thank you for all your support and patience! :)
Kbin has been really slow in syncing with Lemmy instances today. I've been browsing https://kbin.social/m/gaming@beehaw.org but it seems like it hasn't gotten updated in hours, for example. @ernest is this a known issue?
Adding to what the other guy said, you can think of Lemmy as a collection of servers. Right now you're on lemmy.ml, but some people are on https://beehaw.org/ for example. Beehaw is also Lemmy, but it's a different server with different users and communities.
Here's what makes the Fediverse cool though. You don't need to go there to interact with them. You can stay on lemmy.ml and access and comment on Beehaw. When you're on the home page it defaults to "Local", but if you click on "All" you can see posts from different servers. Same thing when you click on "Communities" at the top. It lets you browse communities on different servers by clicking "All".
Let's say you wanted to browse the gaming community on Beehaw. You can write "gaming" in the search field and find gaming@beehaw.org, or you can just type it into your search bar as https://lemmy.ml/c/gaming@beehaw.org
Now you can browse, comment, vote, and interact with that community. I posted this comment from https://kbin.social/ , which is NOT Lemmy, but since the Fediverse is connected we can basically interact with each other from different websites.
I legitimately don't understand what they're hoping to gain from the AMA. Unless spez is going to start with "We were wrong, we're rolling back the changes" then there's nothing to be said. They ran over 3rd party apps that millions of their users use for no reason. This will be a total disaster.
My experience with the Fediverse has only been through Mastodon, through which I struggled to find a community I really gelled with. Either it was supper overwhelming with meme posts or NSFW, or it was too chill to the point of nothing. Or, it was hyperfocused like FOSS/Linux and became uninteresting after awhile. May try again,...
I never really liked Twitter as a concept. It feels like it's built on an "old man yells at cloud" concept where people just shout their thoughts and nobody gains anything from it.
By comparison forums are there to foster discussions and communities. I thought Mastodon would be better but I spent 5 minutes and it's exactly the same nonsense.

We have 2-3 months to compile a Threads block list (www.timothychambers.net)
It is expected to be 2-3 months before Threads is ready to federate (see link). There will, inevitably, be five different reactions from instances:...

Kind of a hilarious, yet probably effective marketing strategy.
Interesting title (lemmy.world)
