Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

    I made an alt on a smaller instance when all the trouble with lemmy.world was happening, and I was thinking of making the alt my main, but I’m too lazy to port all my subscribed communities over, so this is still where I’m gonna be. I still browse from my alt sometimes, because the feeds are different.

    I just signed up for a more local instance, but I’ve been looking for an easier way to swap over my subscriptions

    I have an account on lemmy.world, but when I ping it, I’m in the 100ms. I ended up on lemmy.ca where the ping is 3ms average, it makes a big difference in responsiveness.

      That’s a terrible justification. lemmy.world is using Hetzner, and not a CDN whereas lemmy.ca is using Cloudflare, which is a CDN. Pinging is a terrible benchmark for comparing server performance.

        What is a better way to compare server performance in this context? (Actually curious, sincerely asking)

          One good way would be HTTP response times from the API, since that is not something that would be cached by Cloudflare at the edge.

    I think a problem for new users is failing to understand how the Fediverse works. It’s not something apparent and not something you can expect everyone to understand right off the bat. A user may start out on a heavily loaded instance and get discouraged by poor response. They either figure out they need to find a better instance or base their opinion of the whole on that one experience and give up altogether.

    Lemmy.ml and lemmy.world can suffer from heavy user load and bog down at times. That situation can be avoided by selecting an instance that’s not too heavily loaded. There’s a large number to choose from. It may be necessary to shop around for a good one. In technical terms, find a regionally local instance with low hops, fast ping, and good server response. Also admin settings and quality can be a consideration. I actually signed up on four instances before I found one I really liked.

      I’ve found since 18.2 that Lemmy.ml is as reliable as ressot for me. Compared to June I’ve had no hanging, errors, or issues accessing pages.

        noob

        I’ll take it. It’s not like I’m trying to pretend otherwise.

        it’s been called that since before threads.

        Well, to be fair that’s quite a coincidence.

            It’s not a coincidence

            Yes, it is. The coincidence is in the OP mentioning Threadiverse as if it’s a common term and my misunderstanding by thinking that they’re taking “Threads” and “Fediverse” and blending them together, thinking Meta coined it.

            Threads are a forum thing. This is a thread.

            No shit - hence why Threads had its name in the first place.

            You can downvote me all you want; it won’t make a difference.

    Probably because lemmy.world stops working with half the apps every other day. Some days I can only use it with Thunder, other times only Jeroba, other days it works with every app except Liftoff. There’s just no predictable pattern to it and I’ve found myself just avoiding lemmy.world lately because I don’t want to type out a 3 paragraph comment just to find that my app isn’t logging in to lemmy.world today.

    heh, would you look at that. It won’t let me post this comment on Jeroba so I had to log in with a browser. This is fuckin bullshit. I’m going back to sh.itjustworks until this gets fixed.

    I imagine any time a given server’s quality drops, people will just move to another one. I had login issues for a few days on lemmy.world and started using lemmy.ml.

    I think its a good thing, healthy for the ecosystem that there’s not only redundancy where one site having a moment doesn’t kill everyone’s ability to use lemmy, and also provides a clear incentive for individual servers to provide good service.

        Were you able to export your list of subscriptions and import into another instance? I thought that would be a feature, but I can’t find it on lemmy.world

          It’s not a feature of Lemmy itself yet, though I’ve seen one person attempting a PR and there are issues for it. It will arrive at some point but could be awhile.

          I made a tool to do it (subscriptions, blocks, and profile settings) in the meantime: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

    The fuck did you just call this? The threadiverse? Nu-uh, fuck the meta fucks, this is the Fediverse.

      It’s not a bad name. It’s the fediverse, but for threaded conversation. The threadiverse nickname has been floating around far longer than Meta’s rushed Twitter clone.

      Threadiverse predates threads I’m pretty sure. Reddit is composed of threads, reddit fediverse being threadiverse makes sense. Maybe less so now though.
