Plot twist: it's the lemmy.ml team doing the ddos'ing

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

I mean they did say the attackers had intimate knowledge of Lemmy so…

[-] hstde@feddit.de 31 points 1 year ago

That is not saying anything, the full documentation and source code is public for everyone to read.

[-] victron@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

Time to point fingers (at other instances)!!!1

[-] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think those programming.dev guy's did it \s

Lemm.ee has been unhinged for too long!

WE NEED TO FIGHT

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

who is doing the ddosing is prime material for conspiracy theories

[-] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago

Conspiracy theorists are doing the ddosing

It's obviously funded by spez

Ugh. For five peaceful seconds I'd forgotten about that ungainly rat.

[-] OtakuAltair@lemm.ee 66 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, so they have another large instance to ddos

Use smaller instances like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee. You know, the entire point of decentralization.

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 40 points 1 year ago

It's not just about users though, we need to separate communities as well. There are so many communities on lemmy.world currently.

[-] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 14 points 1 year ago

This. I feel like world isn't prioritizing the health of the entirety of Lemmy by not closing community creation.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 11 points 1 year ago

Isn't that up to the creators though. If world is their home instance, why would they create elsewhere? Not being able to create communities would kind of defeat the purpose.

If creators want engagement, they will create on subs with more uptime. That will likely be world in the future, when hardened. The ddos attacks aren't good for Lemmy now, but it should iron out some wrinkles in the long run for all instances. I think the world admins are doing a great job, both technically and communication wise.

Lemmy needs a refpost system where you can choose to post articles to different instances that link together.

You then can get all the benefits of centralization without necessarily being centralized.

[-] jack@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Isn't lemm.ee running on commercial hardware designed to take much larger server loads?

[-] kattenluik@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

Like every other instance?

How long will it take, do you think, for lemm.ee to become one of the bigger instances? I keep seeing people mention it, and that's why I'm here.

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

lemm.ee is larger than lemmy.ml by active users monthly, as such it's already the second largest instance. Don't let the "total users" number confuse you: lemmy.ml is ancient and is bound to have many inactive accounts.

[-] jack@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't know why Hexbear's numbers are all blank (because it's newly federated?) but I would expect it to take second or third place.

Would be great if people spread out a bit.

[-] jacktherippah@lemdro.id 30 points 1 year ago

Use small instances. I've never had trouble on lemdro.id.

[-] DrMango@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

How do I even find other instances? Not trying to sound like a turd, I just legitimately haven't looked into it at all yet

[-] AlexDrago@ani.social 6 points 1 year ago

You could use lemmyverse.net to look what instances and communities there are

[-] jacktherippah@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

I think it usually just involves look around the comment sections. People are like "I'm on this instance, it's good blah blah blah."

In my case though I chose lemdro.id because it's an instance that centers around a topic I'm interested in.

This is the way.

Don't join big instances. There should be no main instance. Join small instances. Spread the load

Meanwhile me on lemmy.zip -

[-] GentooPhysicist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I truly dislike .zip domain names tho

[-] AlexDrago@ani.social 6 points 1 year ago

Are they too compressed for you? ;)

can't wait for them to blame another instance with no evidence whatsoever

[-] 299792458c137@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 year ago

lemmy.sdf.org is a nice instance.

[-] atocci@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

Kbin.social has been incredibly solid recently

[-] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I'm a big fan, just wish it didn't block so much nsfw stuff

[-] Frog-Brawler@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I feel like it’s been pretty solid the whole time.

[-] artisanrox@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

because we don't have a fascist tankie at the helm 😎

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 10 points 1 year ago

Please don't play into Enlightened Centrist horseshoe theory crap by pretending that the idiots of both extremes are identical.. While it has some superficial things in common with Stalin style tankiness, fascism is 100% a right wing ideology.

[-] Alto@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

First couple weeks were pretty rough, but it's been real smooth sailing since that all got smoothed out
