How will lemmy scale? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] LostRedditor@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I love Lemmy but your question is legit. I just signed up with lemmy.world because lemmy.ml is slow/not responding.

Before making a post in lemmy.world guess what? lemmy.world isn't responding. I know they have scheduled maintenance at 9 CET but it was 20 minutes before that.

How accurate is the-federation.info? Something is not right (lemmy.ml)
 

There are weird things happening in the-federation.info page:

  1. Users count is fluctuating for a few days
  2. Some instance report wrong numbers such as lemmyonline.com which reports 97,024 posts where as the actual posts are less than 50 posts

Lemmy.ml being hit hard in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

Same here.. it’s frustrating, loading a post would take like 10 minutes.

Hopefully Lemmy admins/developers would solve this issue. It’s the only social media I use now.

These must be the people who didn't know their apps were getting killed. in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

Old.reddit would not show comments anymore. It will direct you to reddit.

So I believe they might stop working at any moment.

RIP Apollo 💔

Why do so many tech companies, like Reddit and Twitter are making their platforms worse for their users all of a sudden? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Probably enshitification!

Look it up.

speaking of alternatives, what brand do people hate that actually has a decent alternative? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I did use pihole to block it. Sadly, not everyone have the technical knowledge to do so.

That’s why I’d recommend apple products even though they’re not that great.

This is why I don’t buy Android.

The software isn’t optimized enough from smoothness and battery consumption perspective.

Also, the ROM that’s usually comes from the manufacturer is either spyware, bloated, or just crap. You need technical knowledge and risking bricking your device to install custom ROM.

The hardware, which is my least concern, depends on the company you buy from.

My SONY smart tv (with apps disabled) would phone home like ~200 times a minute.

What was the main reason you left Reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] LostRedditor@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

Losing Apollo was the main reason.

However this whole saga unveiled other disturbing things such as how Reddit is leveraging its communities for advertising in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/837198

Reddit mods are calling for an ‘affordable return’ for third-party apps in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

Even if they make it free, I’m not going back.

Congrats.

Now no poop for 4 days.

MEGATHREAD: whatever the hell is going on in Russia right now in c/news@beehaw.org

Putin benefited from:

  1. Showed that the largest military group couldn’t complete a coup
  2. No longer need to justify the damage Wagner group done
  3. Shows Russian that he prefer to negotiate rather than bloodshed
  4. Shows international theatre that Russian troops are loyal, peaceful, and follow orders
  5. Identified disloyal government officials who sided with Wagner if any

And the list goes on

Wagner head got out of it and terrorisim accusations in the future

I’m still thinking that it’s not over. Moscow still on high alert.
