Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I haven’t noticed it happening. But haven’t checked much.
What I have noticed is that some of the overloaded and larger instances can be slow…to post comments….to subscribe to…to post threads on etc. especially from a separate federated instance.
Lemmy.world is easily one I have noticed along with lemmy.ml and occasionally…beehaw (but much less so).
My guess is that in general those instances may be slow to sync/update data or respond.
I'm also seeing this issue on the two instances you've mentioned. I'm not sure if it is just an overloaded issue, or if there's more fundamental issue with the way I'm setting things up. One way around it is if I see a comment I really want to interact out of my own instance, I can copy the link from the fediverse icon, and then search for it. Then the comment (along with its parents) will pop up on my instance eventually. Not idea, as I'd still have to venture out of my own instance to discover the said comment chain, but at least it provides a way to interact, for now.
I would just give it time. I think those instances have some scaling issues and things take time to sync.
Do you have other users on your instance?
I noticed it took a day or two to “catch up” as I added and federated with new communities on these instances.
Again, I haven’t really dug in. They have seemed okay (I do have accounts on those instances too). It seems once everything is “caught up” and it’s just incremental it goes smoother.
But are you seeing any resource constraints on your instance? Like cpu or ram?
All by myself. Plenty of room for activity. We'll see if it catches up or just end up creating a larger divergence! And yeah, I do have account on lemmy.world as well, so it's just extra song and dance for now.
Oh I see your account is only 14 hours old. Yeah I would give it another 24-36 hours to do pulls and look then.
Everytime I add a community I start with all the links and all have 0 comments. Then after a while they sync up. I used fediverse.net to just start pulling all sorts of communities. But at this point it seems okay. My instance has been up for a few days now.
New instances are popping up all over so those bigger ones have a lot of servers syncing with them.
Yeah, there are ways around the de-sync (albeit super manual) for now, so I’m just waiting and seeing for the time being :)
@freeman @chiisana how do you pull instances from fediverse.net?
Head to https://lemmyverse.net and click the Home button at the top right and type in the URL of your instance.
Flip from instance to community at the top.. Then you can click on a community name and open it in a new tab
Heres one as an example
If you get a 404 like this you havent loaded/synced it yet.
So you need to go to your instance search and copy the !link below it into search Like so.
Mash the search button a few times and the community will show up. Some of the isntances are overloaded and slow as hell though. So be patient. Sometimes I have to change the search filter from all to community and back.
Now the community will show up in your instance and slowly start syncing. Note the 0 Comments on everything. The syncing is slow right now.
Also for kbin instances (ie: kbin.social and fedia.io), The ! format doesnt seem to work.
For those I have to just search the full URL. Like so.
I think you mean how to pull communities from other instances? Just search for the link or descriptor of the community; e.g. [email protected] and it will be pulled. Takes some time for the result to show up though, I usually have to search again after some minutes to actually find it.
I’m not sure what you mean by pull instances. I’m really brand spanking new at this. Sorry!
@chiisana your all good! We’re in the same boat 😆
So looking more. Yeah it may be more active threads are behind. Here’s an example that’s out of sync on my instance right now
