Likewise.

It's also only just now dawning on me /bin is short for /binaries. I always thought it was like... A bin. like a junk drawer hidden in a cupboard

Boost

Just an FYI, some of your links broke, seems to be because it included closing brackets as part of the URL. The 2nd and 3rd one and bottom 2, specifically

Neat, TIL!

Let me answer that question in a lot less words than the article:

Does a high-quality camera phone always come with a high price tag?

• no.

No worries, thanks for all the help and patience!

I realised I forgot to provide my other accounts name. The one associated with my Reddit account is IAmABakuAMA.

I've also been having the same 500/community is already created issue with r/3DS, although now that I know how the search and filter system works, I can probably just do it through that

Oh that makes sense, thank you for clarifying.

It seems that when logged out, it defaults to "unknown", but does show all subreddits. However, when logged in, it still shows "unknown", but won't show any subreddits until i change the filter to "no". I don't think having it only show subscribed by default is necesarily a problem or flaw, although it would probably be a good idea to clarify that a little better. Perhaps with little search filter boxes, similar to what some shopping websites have at the top of the page when filters are applied? Or if the page returns no results, display something like "Hmm, there are no results for your search. Try changing your search filters and check your spelling then try again.".

Interestingly though, I created a new account using the Reddit OAuth method, and it still doesn't show any subscriptions, regardless of whether I choose "unknown" or "yes" for the subscribed filter:

That's rather odd, as I definitely do have subscriptions on this account:

Any idea what's happening there?

Edit: while I'm here, does the subreddit search support wildcards? i.e is there a way to type in "Trains" and find any community that contains "trains" anywhere within it?

I believe what Reddthat did was setup a proxy tool someone developed. If I understand correctly, the idea behind it is that you'd deploy it to a server somewhere in Europe, the closer to the largest instances the better, that would receive all the activities one by one, then send them out in batches to the main servers, effectively fixing the problem until multiple activities can be sent at once. Perhaps lemmy.nz set that up, too?

Our admins showed a little bit of interest in it, but nothing ever came of it. Not sure if they're on the matrix, but I suppose at least one of them would be

I'm not sure which post that is, but that's probably us. I know lemmy.nz and monyet.cc are also affected.

There are/were some useful grafana graphs hosted on lem.rocks, but I didn't really understand them (that's wayyyy above my pay grade), and some of them don't seem to work anymore.

Awesome comment here with a good rundown of the situation as well, as well as various bits of info every other time it's been raised here, here, here, and here. I know before the root cause was figured out, someone asked in the Lemmy World meta community, but iirc their admins mostly just ignored us. But to be fair, I think this was a while ago when they were having stability issues, so it's understandable.

It sort of killed Lemmy for me, as for a while, most posts on all only had a couple hundred comments and 2 or 3 comments without the LW communities

I just discovered this community, it's pretty cool! I like these threads.

I run 2 niche communities for random train nerds in Australia: !MelbourneTrains@aussie.zone, and !BrisbaneTrains@aussie.zone. BrisbaneTrains is mostly dead, but MelbourneTrains has been going almost since this instance began, and thanks to living in Melbourne, it's a lot easier to post OC.

There's not very much activity there either, but to be fair I haven't exactly been pushing it. We currently have 260ish subscribers, and 170ish posts. I'd guess I've made about 150 of those posts. There's a few people commenting now which is nice, and OC/certain news articles often go past 20 upvotes

I'm not really a Tesla, but I think trying to move off of .world is a good idea. I know it's a niche problem, but my instance (as well as a few others which are located geographically quite far from Helsinki where .world is hosted), are currently running 1-2 week federation times with .world. it's a little bit better since the last Lemmy update, before that no posts would appear for around 7 days. Now posts in .world communities do appear, but only if they're posted people who aren't also on .world, and the post (as well as all comments on it) are stuck as showing a score of 0.

Apparently it has something to do with Lemmy only sending 1 federation activity at a time, which will apparently be fixed in an upcoming update. But even generally, I think it's a wise idea to decentralise a bit

Ugh, these Lemmy tags are tricky in the browser. Seems to work better when I mention people from Boost on Android

Thanks for fixing it up
