      How does that work? Is it because you’re on a different instance? I’m genuinely curious, I am still trying to use my smooth little brain to understand how this federation thing works.

            Absolutely amazing. Not only that, in the homepage, I just click “All” and “New” and posts keep popping up in real time too, it’s super responsive. Gone are the days where I had to refresh to see new posts!

              They will come back. The websocket code that powers it is being replaced with more scaleable plain HTTP code as I understand it. There are also several bugs with the auto refresh freaking out at times, resulting in old posts filling your feed.

      I just wanted to verify something. If an instance goes down, what happens to the communities created in that instance? Might be a stupid question, but I’m still not 100% I get how this all works.

        All hosted & federated posts are still archived by the instances that recieved them but the community obvsiously can’t accept new federated posts & comments until/if it goes live again. We should have archiver accounts/bots on important communities to not lose knowledge created on those communities, it’s like adding a voice recorder to a telephone line - you keep what you record.

              they’re heavily pro-Russia and pro-China, remove comments criticizing violation of human rights by China, and use phrases like “Ukrainian invasion” and downvote people who say that hey, it’s Russia who’s the bully.

              Lemmygrad is a radical left communist instance. That’s is not a lot of people’s cup of tea

              Edit: while the above is true, and I’ve heard the link between the admins and the instance mentioned a few times in Mastodon. I have not been able to corroborate it myself.

                  The good thing is since it’s federated and open source, we can just make our own instances without them and block them. The bad thing is since they have the biggest instance (lemmy.ml) because, well, they made it and pioneered it, it’s unlikely we’ll want that or them blocked.

                  I think this is one of the reasons why many ppl are pushing to join Kbin instead since it’s a bit more separated from the “overlords” than lemmy. I don’t really know a solution yet to this problem, let’s keep exploring.

    I’m not on Lemmy but kbin and it’s been like that here as well, and from what I understand it’s due to a mass of users from reddit slowing everything down and setting off ddos protections.

      hey so regarding Kbin, I tried it, I got super lost. I can use Lemmy alright, very easy, but on Kbin I don’t know how to browse either local or global “magazines”. Do you know where these buttons are? lol.

    Yup. I wonder when they’ll halt registrations.

    Still down? I’m getting error 502. Also, subscribed to some communities yesterday and I’m still getting “Subcribe Pending”.
