Like everyone else here, I'm a reddit refugee but I'm quite excited for this instance
Ooooh
Hello, i still doesn't quite grasp about the concept of federation and about how fediverse works.
But does it means that one instance can only run from one server?
Say lemmy.world running on Server A lemmy.ml running on Server B
User can register on whichever they want and can see the post from server A and Server B
But when Server A reach maximum capacity, can Server A scale up or distribute the load to multiple instances?
How can we solve the issue of computing power when more and more users migrate to using this services
Thank you π
Sorry if its a dumb question, but the whole Federation concept is still new to me. I created multiple account to log in to beehaw, mastodon, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml at first because i dont know that with one user, i can see other communities from another instances
I'm trying to figure out why I even saw this post! I've never been to lemmy.world - I'm logged in to (and currently browsing) sh.itjust.works. Not sure why it's showing me this post.
Gonna take a while to wrap my redditor brain around this stuff!
That's what we mean when we talk about federation!
All the instances are interconnected (unless they block each other). You can post, vote, comment, and even become a moderator of a community on any other instance.
In many ways, it's all one big site. In many ways it's also not, but to the end user who just wants to browse around, it's not as important as people make it out to be.
There's some rough edges around community discovery, cross-instance linking, etc. But the devs are working hard on fixing those issues.

Feels good to be part of the growth of a community!
Quick question: when are these changes supposed to take place? ASAP or at a specific time?

Nice!
Just joined. Thank you so much for your effort!
Wow, weβre over 12k already
I think some donation flare would be cool to have if you make a donation to an instance. It would help incentivize donations too.
Is one donation method preferred over another? That is to say, is one cheaper than the other?
Thank you.
Are you running this out of your home?
I have self hosted small things before, but I was always curious about lager stuff like this.
What are your internet speeds?

If you didn't tell I wouldn't even have noticed, awesome work!
The site is way more performant following the migration!
Thanks for the work you put into this server!
That's my admin!
Loving it here so far!
My submissions still hang indefinitely, but when I reload they are there. I dunno if this is something connected to lemmy's code itself or the server but it's a bit broken
Thank you for doing that! We appreciate having a place to come.
- I signed up on Patreon. Thank you for hosting + making it possible. I thought about adding an emoji check mark next to my name but gave up the idea. :-)
- I made up a little proposal on how I think load on the instances could be more effectively distributed. The problem of load on the instance servers + the cost of hosting as a result isn't going to get better with time. π If you have any feedback or interest, feel free to LMK, and thanks again.
