Lemmy world goes down more than your mother.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I finally cracked today and moved to .ml

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I started at .ml and came here afterwards.

.ml is a bit better stability wise (though it also had worse days..) and on top of that they have a slur filter. So if someone calls you 'bitch' ('bi.tch') all you see is 'removed' on lemmy.ml. While the entire rest of the fediverse can read what I just wrote :-/

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Well thats just removed

Glad that I can pick different instances

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Can I say cunt? Because if not that's a deal-breaker for me

Edit: looks like I can, all good

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, bitch is a slur, but cunt isn't?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where I'm from cunt is a term of endearment so I'm happy .ml has embraced our culture

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How come you're not on aussie.zone

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly, because the name sounds shit.. fucking Aussie zone.. who came up with that?

I have like 10 accounts across 10 instances, all with the same username. If 1 is down, I just go to the next, and still have access to all my subs.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I have 4 at the moment. Two normal and two porn account.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Different kinds of porn or…?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gotta have the vanilla account you can use with your friends and family and the kinky one you hide.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You mean you don’t share you kink with fam?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, one each for the two most popular porn lemmies. When one is down, I can go to the other. And when I run out of content on both, I can go to nhentai

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Bows Your Majesty! I am honored.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe a stupid question but if I sign up on a different instance, do I need to add all my subs again?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is a genuine question. Unfortunately we have to manually sub to each community from each instance. Seems like Sync got a sub migration feature under development (for Ultra users). This should be Lemmy's default feature.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's me again but from a different instance since lemmy.world is having problems again... I added the new account to the Connect app and sadly my communities don't seem to transfer.

Thanks your reply

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yup, same here. Not quite ten yet though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Lemm.ee only allows tiny image upload lol I'm having a hard time finding a good instance . ML has some lemmygrad BS I don't even wanna see

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think that I'll do the same. I really want to use Lemmy but the down time on this instance is becoming an issue for me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

You should rather move to a smaller instance than lemmy.ml. Remember, you can still interact with all other instances.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Hosting is hard, but we are largely getting this for free.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

moved to lemm.ee for this reason. insane downtime levels

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Same. Its straight up been more stable than reddit used to be lmao

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If I'm only browsing top, I switch to .ml since I had an account there months ago

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seriously, whats the uptime this week? Is it above 50%?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

84.94% uptime in the last 24 hours.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thats amazingly low.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know it feels like its that often, but its actually still in the upper 90s atleast according to the status site, and its 89% for the last week on an external status page (which probably sees its up by attempting to load the page so its probably close to real life data)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The problem is the downtime is during the times a want to use it

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

It's helping me take breaks so lemmy doesn't become a full on mindless addiction like reddit was so that's been good. Often not sure if it's world or my app (connect) most of the time but ah well.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Really earning the comparison to old reddit, ya know? I'm so proud

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

This is why people need to move to small instances. I moved to aussie.zone even though I am not Australian. The experience is so great and snappy that I love it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Literally just changed istance from world for this exact reason.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

And ofc it goes down again after... I use my own instance which means the only problem is half the instances are on .world so I can't access them when world goes down I wish people would use alternative instances more

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

is there an account moving process like on Mastodon and Firefish or do we just have to make an account and move, leaving everything else behind?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

There are tools that can move over your subscriptions (https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim) but you'll have to leave your posts & comments behind.
