I’m RoundSparrow @Lemmy.ml and RocketDerp on Github. I’m trying to test and identify Lemmy platform scalability and performance issues. Hello to you!
But lemmy.world should primarily communicate via lemmy imo…
I find the same attitude holds for developers who like to hang out in real-time Matrix chat and don’t seem to use Lemmy itself very much and things like code blocks ruining greater-than and less-than slip right into release without much concern.
I’ve found there is a culture within Lemmy developers and long-time operators to discuss in Discord or Matrix chat instead of “eating their own dogfood” and using Lemmy itself to openly discuss Lemmy technical and project issues. These chat services are legendary for keeping things away from search engines and newcomers getting up to speed. Lemmy itself isn’t nearly as search-engine friendly as Reddit was traditionally, it seems like feedback needs to be given as to how important it is to keep things about Lemmy in the eyes of those who actually use Lemmy…
Thoughts?
I haven’t tested with 0.18.3 to see if new features were added to front-end lemmy-ui, but based on my experience with earlier 0.18 releases… the “Sign Up” page of Lemmy needs to have a custom message added for each instance basically introducing the instance from the admins. The experience is pretty bad… on my instance I have registration closed and lemmy-ui still just presents “Sign Up” links and even the form. I think it’s pretty important to get this in the back-end now so that the evolving independent front-ends all support the custom message shown above/below the Sign Up form…
Seems like something that shouldn’t take a lot of coding to get added (admin screen has place to create custom messages like “Legal”) that would be a good lemmy network-wide focus on the newcomer experience.
July 30 comments when from 7.1 million to 9.9 million. In a single day?
they are called communities here
lemmy.ml is now getting some lemmy.world content
yha, it said “effectively defedarated” - anyway, I edited out the words entirely so there isn’t any more confusion.
example?
EDIT: Ok, I see a lemmy.ml created a post: https://lemmy.world/post/2463337
So far, I can’t find any new content on lemmy.ml from .world
This post you made, the language you set on it is “中文”.
comments are hidden on some posts I’ve seen, like it says there are 8 but I see 2.
Lemmy has bug in counting too. Comments are often missing because of replication issues between servers. But the most common issue I’v seen with inflated comment numbers is edits being counted as new comments.
You can use markdown codes in titles. Bold, italic, and in my case strikethrough. Two tildes before and after the text.
It is back up
Down, “Server error” message for past 20 minutes at least
https://sh.itjust.works/ is returning “Server error” on all pages, not sure how long that has been going on.
apparently over 45 minutes so far: https://lemmy.world/post/1604919
Beehaw.org was down for over 30 minutes, came back for 15 minutes, now down again another 30 minutes.
lemmy.ml is back online!
Lemmy.world is now responding some at least, and some of the comments from remote servers came into this posting just now.
Personally, I don’t think the Lemmy numbers are that big. There are some instances running bots of feeds, a lot of memes. A lot of discussion about Lemmy and other federated services. I do not really consider the volume of posts/comments about everyday topics to be that high.
He learned from the best… George Lucas did everything he could with Bill Moyers to open source the whole humanity meme pattern inspiration in Star Wars. He was trying to tie pre-film, pre-cinema, patterns to film. Passing down the meat and potatoes of society to each generation.
