  • Is the Fediverse stalling?

    Jump

  • Every single person that I’ve ever told about Lemmy has not only refused to join, but outright chided me for having recommended it to them. Every. Single. One.

    Have you tried to suggest then Piefed since then, especially now with Voyager starting to support it?

  • Yeah, the reason I say that is because Sunaurus had setup something like 10 sub-servers (most of them non-redundant) running the instance, at a cost of ~US$200/mo. I can’t pretend to be any expert in such stuff, but my perception is that (rather famously unlike certain other instances) it was overall beautifully able to handle massive influxes of users, DDOS attacks, spam issues, outage issues, and whatever else. It also had a health-status link (now defunct) and I think maybe other user/server tools, as well.

    Lemm.ee was definitely solid, but it was not the only one.

    https://discuss.tchncs.de/ is managed by the admin behind https://tchncs.de/ , as you can see, they offer quite a few services: https://status.tchncs.de/status/tchncs

    Another issue apart from that is that even when the content can be migrated to another instance, nobody can say with any certainty that such instance won’t crash, either. There’s also the fact that now that EGN’s stuff is mostly migrated (with ~160 postings lost), I can’t actually edit any of it even as the community owner. So personally, it’s another big chonk of work trying to patch up any content that has aging issues… such as Imgur content needing to be re-uploaded, info updating, and/or links needing to be fixed. I.e., I’ll need to delete, rework and re-launch so many of those aging posts when I’d much rather be focused on creating new content.

    In your situation, have you ever considered hosting a blog rather than content directly on Lemmy/Piefed? That might be an easier way to manage the content over time. https://text.tchncs.de/about this be used for example, there are probably other instances around (https://writefreely.fediverse.observer/list)

    Another option would be WordPress, which would allow you to link your blog with a Lemmy/Piefed community, like it was done here:

    As much as I like Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin, in their current state they're not the best solution for content that is going to be edited and updated over a long period of time

  • As a general comment, I suggest everyone interested in making the Fediverse grow to join those two communities

    Nobody likes to shout into the void. The second one helps finding people to help you grow your communities.

  • It had an impact, but is was limited thanks to the decentralized nature of the platform.

    About the most robust and resilient instance, I'm not sure, monthly reports on !home@lemmy.zip are pretty transparent and detailed. Other instances like sh.itjust.works have very high uptime as well.

    The last point is a good one, hopefully with better mod tools we can deal with those situations better.

  • No, lemmy.zip just geo blocked UK IP adresses, but the content is still available from other servers, no instance defederated.
