I had to post from my alt account because lemmy.world servers are down

Rightfully so.

Lemmy servers are hosted by just some people that often don't even accept donations, shoulder the entire legal liability and are sys admin all together by themselves.

And then there is the clownshow reddit being a gigantic company and not even able to not be a gigantic shitshow.

I'm actually seeing more and more .world users getting pissed as the downtimes become more frequent now.

IF you want to switch to an alternative instance use the tool Lasim to synchronize your accounts: synchronize subscriptions, settings and/or blocks. Tool is available for Windows, Linux and MacOs.

Cuz you can just use another smaller instance, as you should.

Lemmy.zip and lemm.ee are cool

Tbh I've just stopped using my world account at this point. Lemmy.ca has been much more reliable so far lol.

If only federation existed... and other instances existed....

Permanently Deleted

Gotta love decentralised shit

I never gave reddit 1c and blocked all ads. I donate to lemmy.world.

I have zero anger when lemmy is down, I despised reddit, especially towards the end.

I really wish more people would donate to lemmy I think it's totally fair to pay for someone to manage and help with running the site.

It's hard to just say "volunteer".... Even if people volunteer and we can only afford to send 50% of their fee their way it's still something....

If we want lemmy to thrive without ads we have to all pitch in. Just give 2$/ month... If we all did that we'd be able to hire people full time...

Up time 76% on lemmy.world // last 24h.
No message from any of their admis.
Outside attack : usual shitheads. And if LM LW fails, they will attack the next big one.

Edit #1 : LM is Lemmy.world
Edit #2 : oups LW ... not LM
Edit #3 : Lemmy.World status
Edit #4 : from 4am utc //24h :

wjats so good about lemmy.world compared to lemmy.ml

The funny thing is that Reddit with its big teams and infrastructure was also sluggish and going down a lot this week and we keep forgetting that. No excuses for Reddit.

I mean communities being on world is an issue too.

Same reason I am here. I had two small communities for my interests there, but it was down so often that I decided to move here AND move my communities. This place seems a lot more stable. That's really the downside of huge servers on lemmy IMO. If communities centralize on one server, whenever that one server is down, so are the communities for everyone.

I would totally run my own server but I'm not tech enough. I have spare hardware, and I have a 1GB fiber connection, but I am not a network security expert, so I am afraid my home IP address would be targeted and disrupt my house Internet in general. Even if I don't allow others to create account or communities on my server, I still feel like it's a risk for me because I am not skilled enough to deal with threats.

Understandable since one is a government funded psyop running on servers in the basement of the FBI building. The other is Reddit.

Ayyyyyyy.

I switched to lemm.ee, it's much more stable since it's not constantly being attacked by script kiddies. I have a theory a user got banned, and is making it their personal mission to ruin .world's performance. Please donate to your home instance owner(s) if they have that set up. Even if it's just a little, it can make everyone's experience better.

this is the opposite on reddit (obvious reasons). ppl go ham when someone mentions lemmy.world is down lol

Reddit servers down? Didn't notice

Not having just an account on .world is a necessity since it's the favorite target of attacks (at least, I'm assuming that's why it's down so much).

options are optional

My home instance managed to get blocked by Lemmy World's Cloudflare firewall, probably because my Pleroma/Akkoma account and my Lemmy account are on the exact same IP.

Lemmy[.]ca user for this reason haha

that's exactly the reason I made an account here

Kbin.social alt accounts rise up!

Lemmy goes down more than a 2 dollar hooker on a Friday night. But the only reason I care is because I don't use the other site.

Testing! (Ignore this pls)
