      I bounce between all of them. I really like the active since it’s different from the alien site. Just like old forums.

    The only thing I need to improve this article is a short video demonstration showing how to find and add remote lemmy communities

    Are there any video producers on Lemmy that can help? You’ll easily get thousands unique views per day if you make a short “Guide to Lemmy” video :)

    Suddenly my server started getting thousands of requests per minute and my varnish cache hit rate jumped to 99%. Thank god for varnish!

    Looks like the reddit blackout is #1 on the frontpage of hackernews, and this article is #2.

    I actually posted this article to hackernews, but I never got a single upvote. This isn’t my first time getting on the frontpage of hackernews, but it always happens when someone else reposts my link.

    Can anyone tell me how the fuck hackernews’ algorithm works to where I can’t ever get traction but someone else does after me?

      All I can say is that on “getting traction” I’ve only heard frustration, indifference or surprise. Something seems whack there.

    I have a question that’s probably more specific to using Mlem to access Lemmy instances. How can I use that app to see notifications on Lemmy? I had a bunch of responses to a comment I made and had no idea because I was browsing on Mlem. No way to easily access my own posts/comments, nor see responses to those. I had to get into the web app to see that I had like 7 notifications.

    Still getting used to lemmy, was wondering if the sorting of comments was a thing you could change (permanently) user side or if it was server side? Also the auto-refreshing ‘home page’ that scoots everything down is bad on desktop. Not a whole lot of ‘googleable’ information yet on lemmy

      I recommend asking in its own post on !lemmy@lemmy.ml

      If nobody answers in some days, then I’d create a feature request on GitHub.

    Thank you! The manual method of creating URLs finally allowed me to subscribe to some communities on other instances. I really hope this is just for the short time that some lemmy servers struggle with the migration load.

      Thanks! Yeah, I linked to it in the bottom of the article. There’s some other good links there that you may want to checkout as well :)

      I’m not 100% sure, but my interpretation of that message is that you’re waiting for the federated servers to communicate, and you can close the page.
