is this someone trying to kill a smaller instance?
In the last 24 hours you've likely noticed that we've had some performance issues on Blåhaj Lemmy.
The initial issue occurred as a result of our hosting provider having technical problems. We use Hetzner, who provides hosting for approximately a third of the fediverse, so there was wide spread chaos above and beyond us.
As of lemmy 19.x, messages queue rather than getting silently dropped when an instance is down, so once Hetzner resolved their issues, we had a large backlog of jobs to process. Whilst we were working through the queues, we were operational, but laggy, and our messages were an hour or more behind. These queues aren't just posts and replies, but also include votes, so there can be a large volume of them, each one of which needs to be remotely verified with the sending instance as we process it, so geographical latency also plays a part.
As you can see from the graph, we are finally through the majority of the queues.
The exception is lemmy.world. Unfortunately, the lemmy platform processes incoming messages on a sequential basis (think of it as a sequential queue for each remote instance), which means Blahaj Lemmy can't process a second lemmy.world message until we've finished processing the first message.
Due to the size of Lemmy.world they are sending us new queue items almost as fast as our instance can process them, so the queue is coming down, but slowly! In practical terms, this means that lemmy.world communities are going to be several hours behind for the next few days.
For those that are interested, there is a detailed technical breakdown of a similar problem currently being experienced by reddthat, that explores the impact of sequential processing and geographical latency.
Howdy, y'all. :)
So, within the last couple of days or so, I've been having this problem where if I click on the notification bell, then the chain icon next to a shown reply, then click "Show context" above the horizontal rule (see screenshot), it doesn't proceed to load the context. Rather, it just reloads the same page.
The strange thing is this doesn't happen with every notification. Another notification I had was from here on the Blahaj Lemmy instance, and that worked fine. Maybe it's a thing to do with federation protocols? Anyway, I'm no expert. I just thought I'd ask. :)
Cheers.
Ever since the update this is on every page for me
and when I click it this interface comes up
People don't stop being trans because you disagree with them politically. I despise Jenner and other high profile trans grifters but I'm not shitty enough to deny their identities.
Do better. As a user of both sites this shit is genuinely upsetting. Despite how you may feel about hexbear, how can you claim that they bait people into revealing their internalized transphobia and then turn around and make shitty claims like this? I don't give a shit if you call me a tankie or red fash or whatever, but I'm trans whether you like me or not.
I was banned from lemmy.world for “personal attacks” for 3 days because of calling someone a “piece of shit” after they called me a “cunt”. The comment calling me a cunt wasn’t removed and the user hasn’t been punished at all by the lemmy.world admins.
The comments in question:
Lemmy.world modlog:
In the interest of full disclosure, this is my other comment that was removed:
And here’s the comment of that user I was referencing, in the Blahaj modlog after it was removed:
This feels like an overreach, especially when the admin clearly didn’t feel it was important to punish their own user for “personal attacks” in the same thread.

Example picture of a post on femcel memes without an image nor an image description and 33 likes. Text: "Posts here be like: No text no image 33 likes". It illustrates a problem which seems fly a lot of blahaj zone users have in a somewhat humorous way.
