This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I noticed that for a week or so now the community has been much smaller tham it used to be. I'm seeing an almost 90% decrease in posts, comments, and votes. Did something get defederated or did a big community go down? Lemmy stats show that Lemmy average user count is still about the same.

I don't know if it's directly linked, but small instances are not getting easy entry to the lemmy fediverse. Let me explain succinctly.

I have a somewhat beefy PC with RAM and storage space, it only serves lemmy.mindoki.com over a 1Gb down, 700Mb up link.

When I surf the lemmyverse it should be quick as a nimble, right? Not sloggish like pouring molten asphalt, if any asphalt there is...

Trouble is that I'm the sole user, so if I don't run around everywhere things work quite badly if at all. Unread messages (you have 4 new messages!) takes 30 seconds to get for example or more. Since a 5-6 days internet cutoff (double unluck hardware side from my ISP) all servers my server exchanged with just laid me off and it feels like I'm blocked since then. I go to say artshare through my server, I get the posts but they all have only the base 1 up vote, few comments.

I'd love helping out more, but if you have to have hundreds of users for your server to just function, well, it just doesn't make sense to have a small server.

What's your thoughts?

It's a valid point. You should probably repost this on [email protected] as it would be more visible
