Yup even 3rd party clients are having issues
This problem cannot happen to feddiverse? All nodes just queue sending to others?
Ask kbin.social
It can happen because communities and users are monolithic. You lose your home instance, you have to create a new account somewhere else. The community is located in the instance that goes down, you can no longer participate in it and its former members all have to scramble if they want to participate.
Literally thousands. That’s all the humans that are left.
Funny how they have the audacity to complain about this place being botted when their bot problem is so, SO much worse.
i dont think i’ve seen more than 3 botted users here lmao
Yeah there really are not that many here, and while there are probably more who hide in the background, it’s nowhere near what the Reddit scabs/stans claim when they talk shit about Lemmy and alternative platforms in general.
Its working as intended for me. Hence, I’m here.
Weird, it’s been down for me since June of last year.
Somewhat tangential question: Why do so many sites have links to an external status monitoring site, but when the site is down and you go to check the status on that external status monitoring site, it says everything’s fine? What’s the point of the status site if it doesn’t actually acknowledge that there’s any sort of outage nor provide any info on it?
There are a few options off the top off my head
- the route/connection between the monitoring and you is OK; between the company and the monitoring is OK; but between you and the company is not OK – this means that, so far as the monitoring can tell, the site is up.
- The status checks run at some interval and you’re hitting it before that interval
- There’s some threshold of errors that needs to happen first so tiny hiccups don’t register as full-blown outages.
- the monitoring/metrics are poorly-designed
There are probably other cases. I don’t know the architecture in this case, so I won’t speculate at any others.
Maybe it’s not automated and whoever is responsible isn’t awake yet.
Nice. ☺️
I hope reddit dies
Eventually it will, these for-profit venture capitalist companies always eat themselves sooner or later, it’s only a matter of time.
All corporate social media needs to die
Reddit being down is how I found out about this place. This is literally my first post here. Thanks for sucking Reddit!
Commas, please!
And welcome :)
Welcome! You might want to check out !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca for tips and stuff.
Yeah, after the API changes I created a lemmy account
Welcome.
Welcome! Watch out for Hexbear and the .ml instances, lots of disinformation and propaganda
Don’t forget to apply to the No Poop Challenge!
Jokes aside, welcome. It’s a bit messy but fun here. Make sure to take a look at how instances work, for most part you can ignore it but it does improve a lot your experience.

what
It’s a local meme.
A year ago or so someone posted in AskLemmy “I need to survive for 3 days while pooping as much as possible. I can pee as often as I like. It can take up loads of space. What food do I pack?” Apparently they were serious with the question, but… well, it’s bloody hilarious and suddenly everyone was joking about it.
The original thread was deleted, but you see plenty copycat threads like this one.
DRRRRRRRRRRR…
The top two mistakes I ever made on the Fediverse were unknowingly posting in Chapotraphouse in hexbear.net, and similarly in Lemmygrad.ml. Lemmy was practically unusable for me until I realized I could block those instances (and later lemmy.ml), which improved my happiness here by >99%, no joke.
Definitely it’s worth paying attention to how instances work.
I’m the same way… I don’t like to block people because I want to know what everybody’s saying… But I had to block hex bear. I normally just scroll all and they were everywhere all the time everyday and it just got too much.
I used to be quite proud of myself for never blocking anyone on Reddit, ever. Also I was a mod of a couple of gaming subs, so it wouldn’t have worked in those anyway:-). But eventually I realized… it wasn’t helping my state of mind, and rather it was affecting my irl relationships too. So I stepped back from modding, and finally blocked a particularly onerous troll account that I did not want to ban as a mod, but I sure did enjoy blocking him as a normal user.:-)
There’s a saying about the only thing we must not tolerate is intolerance, and it doesn’t quite go far enough imho as to state the consequences of failing to block intolerance - that they drag us down to become more like them:-(.
it’s a bit messy
From all the users that failed the No Poop Challenge 😔
Welcome, hope you like Linux memes…and beans.
And jeans!
and also me pondering my orb
Nooooo, the poor 100 users and 2 billion bots!
Who cares? Reddit has historically had a ton of outtages. Why even post this?
Yeah back when still used reddit I found myself scrolling through the comments of coping redditters on downdetector.com at least once every couple of months I swear, and I was never even that active
I don’t get it either. I know a lot of lemmy users have an axe to grind with reddit, but treating every temporary outage like it’s dead forever is just bizarre.
It’s like honestly delusional behavior. Just a huge echo chamber repeating the same boring shit over and over. It’s ironic because one of the reasons that people came to Lemmy was to eacape the Reddit circklejerk culture.
On top of it, this is fucking Daily Mail. They fell for a Daily Mail shock value story.
I was looking something up and of course Reddit came up but kept telling me “YOU BROKE REDDIT”.
What a shitty way to express an issue that your site is causing for users. Just go ahead and blame the users. That’s great for noobs who don’t know anything and will legitimately think they did something wrong on their end.
why do honest communicstion when yould instead make people feel guilty and coerce them into coming back
Look, I hate reddit as much as the next person, but if you don’t realize that page is a joke, you’re too dumb for the internet.
Of course it’s a joke, but also…
Whether intentional or not, it does kinda reflect the spirit of toxic insensitivity. Also, however it started, they left it that way even after this fact was pointed out to them.
Ding ding ding. Its possible to pass off dark patterns as jokes and jokes to become dark patterns when the joke isn’t funny anymore
I’m all for substantial and lulzy schadenfreude, but this is service notification made into a daily mail article, that’s when one starts seeming obsessed with a site one doesn’t use anymore
To be fair, the day they actually kill old.reddit we can expect an influx of new users here, so it’s still good to keep an eye on it
HAHA
