Lemmy World outages

Besides the actual developers of lemmy, none has done more for the lemmiverse than the maintainers of lemmy.word. When the Reddit shitstorm started and other leading servers shut down user registration, you guys held the ship steady and didn’t flinch from the sudden flood of new users. Discovering new bottle-necks in lemmy code, helping to resolve them and deploying hot fixes. All in super fast reaction time. About “lemmy.world shouldn’t be largest server” crap - it’s good for lemmy that one server is the easy entry point to lemmy. This is where the “mainstream” communities could/should be and new users will have an easier landing. Having dedicated servers with their own communities (like start trek, piracy, etc) is great but it’s not mandatory for all communities.

What will Meta gain from fediversing?

Reply in thread

Yeah that’s a possibility. They could do something like “ohh too bad Killer Feature X is looking so badly on Mastodon. On Threads it will look so much better”. Essentially using fedi as a crappy demo for Threads. That sounds like a typical business plan to me.

Thank you Lemmy

In retrospect, I’m really glad all of this shit with Reddit happened and lemmy became a thing in my life. Was bummed initially when Apollo died, but now despite needed polish in lemmy apps, the experience here is much much better and I would never go back.

What are your backup solutions?

For app data, Borg as backup/restore software. Backup data is then stored on Hetzner as an offsite backup - super easy and cheap to setup. Also add healthchecks.io to get notified if a backup failed.

Edit: Backup docker compose files and other scripts (without API keys!!!) with git to GitHub.

So how's it going?

First time playing bow build - Ziz’ EA champ. Build feels very solid. Pushing into yellow maps with mostly shit gear from campaign plus 15c bow. Build is tanky and damage is fine, not great. I thought I’d hate the delay of the EA blast but I’m ok with it. I’m too lazy to study the league mechanic. So many stuff to buy and memorize which units/tribes are. I have too much shit in life to have another chore to solve so I’m sticking to my staples of incursion, betrayal and expedition. Was excited to try sanctum but I haven’t found any and I’m too poor to buy them in trade. Generally I’m having fun and the game seems like it is in a good place.
