Self Proclaimed Internet user and Administrator of Reddthat
Relevant: https://reddthat.com/comment/8316861 tl;dr. The current centralisation results in a lemmy-verse theoretical maximum for of 1 activity per 0.3 seconds, or 200 activities per minute. As total transfer of packets is just under 0.3 seconds between EU -> AU and back.
Edit: can’t math when sleepy
No worries! I hope the community comes back around!
Yeah funding is good. Completely community funded :) Ours is on open collective if you want to see it 😉 (we are completely transparent)
We (reddthat) would welcome your community. 😉
Don’t forget & in community names and sidebars.
Constantly getting trolled by &
What a hero!
I guess it all depends on what you find interesting. I have the brief extension installed on my browser and whenever I find blogs or people I enjoy if they have an atom/rss feed I subscribe. Over the years you find lots of content.
Some of the random sites I follow:
Sorry to burst your bubble!
As I said in another comment. The captcha system was dependent on websockets, and exactly what the Devs have said, the captcha system was easy to break. I’m sure my old OCR python 2 code could have broken it.
So when we ditched the inefficient websocket system the captcha system stopped working
It’s still a stupid amount of active users in 1-2 weeks on a platform that had 2k active users for quite a long time
Who knows. They are not even good names, the usernames are usually part of the email. It’s usually super easy to figure out. Captcha’s were dependent on web sockets, so once the Devs got rid of those the captchas broke anyway.
Tinfoil hat mode With enough accounts you could influence the algorithm by voting up content you want vs content you don’t want. Or basically DDoS servers. As every like on a post for a community is sent to every other instance that federates with that community.
Or it could be people creating accounts to inflate the numbers of the fediverse to write this content and make silly headlines like these.
Inflated. There are lots of instances with 20-80k bots.
Edit: https://the-federation.info/platform/73 . order by total users and then see the total active users. Totally different.
What happens to the community you made?
Nothing. The community is independent of the users
Or does the community just get stuck without any admin and people can still post in it?
Pretty much. As an admin you can Add/Remove moderators
See this pretty picture of our dropdown menu:
Right? My Linux instance has been the same for 8 years. Same workflows, same no-nonsense. Every time I open the start bar on my work computer and it lags for 5 second to load some bull shit I don’t need I get so mad /rant
Sorry, but I just had to get that off my chest. What’s your setup like?
Since the 11th @ 9am UTC, LW has seen a 2 fold increase of activities. If my insider knowledge is right (and math) it’s 7req/s average up from 3req/s.
Lucky for both of us we are not subbed to every community on LW but I think we are subbed just enough to be affected.
