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.
Yes. Both were only a few months old and I was the only one posting in them anyway, so I just started going back through all the links and posting them here. I’m sure there will be tools for automating it down the road, without it spamming the local feeds of the server it’s moving to, but right now I know of no such application or feature.
I use my dad’s basement to store my server computer and I have a lemmy instance there. And my dad works for the FBI as a janitor (he’s old so he bought the house for cheap).
I work in the same department on the HexBear server, someone clogged the toilet again (whoever it is uses way too much toilet paper, they just keep wrapping), Anyways to save space we keep our Lemmy instances in the bathroom and the shitwater got to it.
Okay, granted, but only using the term “bogged down” adds to the misconception that the problem is too many accounts on the server. It should be clarified that it comes from a deliberate outside source.
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.
Fun fact: it was my Pleroma’s fault after all! Some confusion with its “transmogrifier” library was causing it to spam requests every 0.8 seconds on average - not even joking, at one point my IP was the largest source of incoming requests in the world. Sorry for the accidental DDOS
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.
Yes lol well, this is my hobby.
I find radio and TV mostly boring.
Here we have many nice people, liberty of speech and very low social pressure.
Lemmy is Fun 😄
have half dozen various types. no need to delete. fedi-wide accounts are still a wish. name them the same and carry on. can set a redirect on mastodon. not sure lemmy
Technically, a DDoS can happen naturally if enough people are trying to use it at the same time. I’ve seen it happen to other, larger websites before. And lemmy.world definitely doesn’t have the infrastructure of some of those larger websites.
I started at lemm.ee because I knew that signing up to the biggest instance was a bad idea. We have pretty good uptime and it doesn’t seem like lemm.ee has been wrapped up in any of the drama of the bigger instances.
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.
just pick another instance and create another account. same email. not complicated. can’t migrate stuff you can’t get to, meh lemmy instances fediverse.observer
That’s kind of what you want, though. A big enough operation that it probably won’t just disappear or start enforcing really arbitrary and unreasonable rules, but small enough that it’s not like lemmy.world.
