I’m smoking weed about it.

They don’t appear to have federation enabled yet.
Lemmy has mangled that script a bit.
Lemmy seems to mangle a lot of links that aren’t basic urls. SimpleX chat links break for some reason here too.
Thank you for the suggestions. At this point it seems the best option may be to just shutter this instance and start over with a fresh database instead of dealing with a bunch of nagging problems from previous experiments. I’ve done plenty of testing in production because for most of that time it was only me being affected by the consequences lol.
I’m going with Oscar mostly because I’m constantly finding weed bits all over myself. I also really enjoy the idea of the “grouch” toking away in his little hideaway while everyone thinks he’s angry.
Relevant Dave Chappelle-
Yeah that would do it lol. Thanks for that info.
Apologies OP, I don’t keep up with who’s blocking who on Lemmy.
It could be that LBZ hasn’t discovered the community yet. If that’s the case you may have to try a couple times before it actually populates. One of many federation quirks. Here are some other links to try.
There’s !mutual_aid@hexbear.net which I believe allow GoFundMe links.
I’m aware. It’s part of the ridiculousness just like the OP.
The real hero’s are the terrorists we made along the way?
I’m not sure it’s been entirely solved. Our host is working through an unrelated hardware problem that hit in the middle of our last round of tuning but things have been behaving better aside from that.
The answer for us has been in adjusting the lemmy pool size to the database and tweaking the available resources to find a happy medium.
Can my humble, single-user instance handle it?
Maybe?
FWIW this information is based on the experience when using remote hosting not self hosting.
The main issue for us was tuning the database performance. The bot can beat your database to death sometimes and just throwing resources at it won’t necessarily solve it. related low effort meme Our experience was that the bot performance hit wasn’t really noticable immediately but it adds up as more and more communities are added to the database. There also seem to be bursts of database load at times, maybe that’s when new instances join the network? They seem to only last a short time though and haven’t really caused problems.
TLDR- Expect an eventual performance hit. If it’s too much you can always disable the bot or adjust what it does.
131·7 months agoi also noticed a recent sync in-congruence from .ml to .world which indicates some kind of funny business… purposeful or not
This isn’t unique to world or ml. There’s some wonky shit going on with federating across Lemmy at the very least, maybe other parts of the fediverse that I don’t use. On walledgarden there are at least half a dozen instances that are falling in and out of sync with our communities. No one on either side of the connection seems to have an answer for what caused this behavior or how to correct it. Talking to some other instances, we aren’t alone.
The lemmyverse crawler/site has also shown some odd behavior with communities and instances disappearing and reappearing seemingly at random.
I don’t think anything malicious is being done by any of the instances or admins in regards to federation delays.
Back when I used reddit it seemed like everyone threw around Fascist in a similar way. Lemmy seems to prefer Tankie. For a lot of people the thinking doesn’t go any farther than “I disagree with you, therefore you are ________ist” or whatever.
It is what it is.
10·8 months agoGuys it’s starting to seem like America loves proxy wars or something.
Someone else did it for me now I have no guilt
Let it be known, I could not ruin this for you.

Fuck me, better do what they tell me!
