Looks like they're back up now.
At a guess they're deploying new backend code.
Was looking on the join servers page hours ago and didn't even see it listed. Beehaw was the most popular, no lemmy.ml in sight.
there was some consensus to remove lemmy.ml from recommended based both on its load and its politics
Huh is there some controversy with its politics? I havenβt heard of that yet!
The admins also run lemmygrad and they are not shy about it.
Edit: this is hearsay from my part.
Can you elaborate on that for those of us who have never heard of it?
they're heavily pro-Russia and pro-China, remove comments criticizing violation of human rights by China, and use phrases like "Ukrainian invasion" and downvote people who say that hey, it's Russia who's the bully.
Lemmygrad is a radical left communist instance. That's is not a lot of people's cup of tea
Edit: while the above is true, and I've heard the link between the admins and the instance mentioned a few times in Mastodon. I have not been able to corroborate it myself.
Feditips no longer recommends Lemmy: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379
The good thing is since it's federated and open source, we can just make our own instances without them and block them. The bad thing is since they have the biggest instance (lemmy.ml) because, well, they made it and pioneered it, it's unlikely we'll want that or them blocked.
I think this is one of the reasons why many ppl are pushing to join Kbin instead since it's a bit more separated from the "overlords" than lemmy. I don't really know a solution yet to this problem, let's keep exploring.
I'm not on Lemmy but kbin and it's been like that here as well, and from what I understand it's due to a mass of users from reddit slowing everything down and setting off ddos protections.
hey so regarding Kbin, I tried it, I got super lost. I can use Lemmy alright, very easy, but on Kbin I don't know how to browse either local or global "magazines". Do you know where these buttons are? lol.
Probably updating or something.
More instances have been doing that. Let's wait it out
Yup. I wonder when they'll halt registrations.
Still down? I'm getting error 502. Also, subscribed to some communities yesterday and I'm still getting "Subcribe Pending".
