We have a uptime thats beyond reasonable, there were some smaller problems some days ago, but they just made things a little slower.
And Lemmyml is full of tankies.
There are however many other instances as well, being on many small ones eases the burden for all and makes single point of failure problems less likely.
100% agree. I’m yet to notice programming.dev go down which makes sense when you consider the target demographic and that the admins probably fit right into it.
Yeah, it’s incredible how your choice of instance can give you a completely different experience (in terms of stability). Still, you can sub to any community you want, so your instance is irrelevant, unless it’s defederated from a server you like.
Yeah, I think there’s a sweet spot in using a mid sized instance such as this. It’s big enough to have a bunch of users hitting communities all over the fediverse, and to have some resources dedicated to the server, but small enough to have its own identity and not be a target.
The magic happens because of how your home instance caches communities from other instances. So your experience depends on the reliability of the instance you’re using, but not so much the reliability of other instances(within reason).
Well, if not come to Shitjustworks, we defederated from lemmygrad (hexbear is basically irrelevant, I’ve never seen a post from there, just some idiots I’ve blocked)
Thanks for the invitation. Though I’ve had plenty of unpleasant encounters with hexbears, I think I’ll stay on lemm.ee for now. Maybe I’ll move in the future when things get even worse.
Just an anecdote, but I’ve been waiting for (I think) close to 36 hours for the email verification to complete my sign-up there. Since there’s no way to resend it, I’ve been stuck in sign-up limbo.
I’ve tried creating two accounts with the same issue. One with a Gmail address and one with a Fastmail account. Neither has received a verification email. I’ve checked the spam folders on both too.
Hello from my new account at sh.itjust.works. I just created this, you can check my profile. I used a temp email: temp-mail[dot]org
After you sign up, you can change the email to some random invalid email so your account is safe from getting hijacked via password reset through email. Changing email doesn’t require re-verification as far as I can tell.
Perhaps your IP got flagged for some reason. Are you using a VPN or Tor? Those may trigger some spam filters. Is your network a public one? (Eg: University, Hospital, Workplace, etc.)
That’s really weird. I’ve been staying at a hotel the last few days and maybe the IP is flagged for some reason, like you said. Well, I guess those two handles are just lost then.
How about letting sh.itjust.works take the place, because their shit seems to always just works.

I feel so safe here lol
Once I made my non-world account here, Lemmy is like a whole new rock solid experience!
Combined with the choice in apps, even though they’re still evolving, it’s great.

I love how this is now similar to when people would have usernames relevant to the conversation in Reddit.
Now, y’all just swoop in with the relevant instance 😂
Which was part of my reasoning for joining there, along with the fact that I’m a dev myself so it aligns with my interests.
If you think lemmy.ml is full of tankies, you should check out https://lemmygrad.ml and https://hexbear.net. They are a hundred times worse
The two others are defederated by most because they are mostly actual commie nazis than anything else.
I hope mine, lemm.ee, defederates from those instances too
You can check that, bottom of the page and instances.
I know that they have not been defederated from lemm.ee. I meant that I hope lemm.ee defederates from them in the future.

I back this, as a sh.ithead
it just works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meh, I can create an account using a Temp Email address. What’s your email provider?
