Slow lately

I noticed recently there's some slowness in the mornings. Things taking a while to load. Comments failing due to timeout etc.

When I switch to another instance everything works again so pretty sure it's not my internet.

Is there anything we can do or help with? Are there DOS or bot shenanigans going on?

Popularity in the USA

I'm Australian and went on a business trip last month to the UK and to the USA.

In the UK I didn't see Bluey anywhere, but in the USA I saw Bluey stuff everywhere. Every hotel room at some point flipping channels Disney Jr seemed to have Bluey on all the time. I saw kids wearing Bluey merch when out and about. I saw Bluey merch in stores. Even on a flight, the kids in front of me were watching Bluey on the inflight entertainment.

At one hotel I had to go down the hallway to get some ice, and was wearing my Bandit PJ t-shirt. Another guy in his 30s came out of the elevator and was like "OMG I love your shirt! We all love Bluey!"

So my question is, will the next generation of American squibs all have an Australian accent?

Sunny

This is Sunny. Unfortunately she flew away about a year ago. Last spotted hanging out with a flock of galahs. But absolutely refused to return when called. Silly derp. 😢 Much sadness was had. But remembered as a cheeky little chicken.

[Feature Request] Refresh button

At the moment if you're inside a post and you want to refresh the comments you have to go all the way to the top and do the pull-down to refresh. Generally this is fine.

However a lot of communities have "live" posts where people watch a tv show or a sports event together. Especially with sports events the actual post text might be really long and requires a lot of scrolling to get past.

For instance a typical live sports thread: https://lemmy.world/post/1156203

I'm sorting by comments by "New" to easily follow the live chat. However to refresh, I need to scroll up about 10 pages on a mobile to get to the top of the post (all the scores and match details are being live updated by a bot in the post body). And then after a refresh I have to scroll all they way back down.

If there was somewhere to just press a refresh button when down in the comments or at the bottom of the post body. I think BaconReader used to have it in the top menu bar of the app. Just an option in the 3 dots menu to refresh would be fine.

Thanks!

Thanks again for this

Thanks again for working on this. I know the little "hackathon" fizzled a bit with only you starting off on something concrete, but I still think it spread a bit of awareness. I've been promoting it in threads where I can, but let me know if you prefer I didn't.

I just think if others promote it, you can't be accused of self-promotion. :-)
