Absolutely love the work done so far by the mods, it’s a thankless tasks, but you’re all doing excellent. Only comment I have is there are too many pinned threads at the moment (at least on the LiftOff app), it takes a while to scroll past them. Not sure if anybody else is having this?

    Some really interesting points in all the comments. I thought it must be this specific app as nobody else mentioned it. I didn’t think about it being a sync issue, I am accessing this through lemmy.ml (I think that’s how it works) For completeness, I took a screenshot showing what I can see…it is long though!!

      Haha, wow yeah can confirm it’s not like that from other instances!

      Not entirely surprising though, .ml has been struggling a lot even before the latest wave of Redditors so it’s basically fallen over at this point. Saw a post with an interesting visualisation of it earlier https://lemm.ee/post/638126, and the graph updates regularly to show the last hour of data but given that .ml and .world are consistently the most laggy you’ve got yourself a particularly rough combo there.

        Really interesting visualisation. I hope they come up with a way soon of transferring accounts to different instances, that way people can migrate off the central ones a lot easier, spreading the load. As you say, rough combo at the moment though

          Yeah. I’ve actually migrated once manually already (was originally on Beehaw), and tbh it wasn’t too bad doing it on desktop it was just a case of opening all my subbed communities in new tabs and then copy pasting the new url to replace the old one and hitting refresh. Still an annoyance, but only took about ten minutes once I got into the groove of it.

          That said, I did see someone sharing this link yesterday https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate which is apparently a way to automate bringing your subscriptions to a new account. I’ve not used it so can’t vouch for it but it might be worth checking out. Idk what things are like over on .ml or if they’ve communicated a plan to fix things up but just sharing in case you do decide to move.
