Are you talking about 'dupin?

Sounds like you discovered wet/dry setup! The fine folks at That Pedal Show talk about it a lot.

Still not working for me with my lemmy.world account in desktop browser.

That error screenshot was from lemmy.one, which has about 1,100 monthly active users, which is a 5th the users of lemmy.ml, and less than 5% the users of lemmy.world. I’m not in denial that high usage causes problems if the deployed instance doesn’t have adequate resources and configuration for it. And I also acknowledge that spreading the users across federated instances will improve the situation. But federation has to be reliable. There are active bug reports about problems with how the platform is handling federation, and how activity can be lost

So the people who are correctly pointing out that these instances are being DDoS’ed by huge user influxes need to also acknowledge that there are still architectural issues with the federation between instances.

While these issues aren’t too big a deal for some communities, they are for others. A community following a sports league and posting threads to discuss matches live and in real time is pretty much only useful with all the users being on the same instance right now. But putting all the users on one instance is making the instance unusable. Combine those factors and people leaving Reddit will either go back to their Reddit sub or find another platform.

😆

I’ve been trying to post them earlier and earlier in the hopes that they get federated out sooner. Today being what it is with Reddit’s API pricing, and different instances being mixed/upgrading on v0.17 and v0.18 (apparently has some big architectural changes) I’m not surprised about federation issues today. Hopefully it’ll all be more stable by the time 2024 season starts.

I do appreciate you putting in the effort to help build the community.

Seems like stuff is slowly federating to lemmy.ml, but going from lemmy.ml out to other instances is even slower, if at all.

Lemmy platform really needs to improve on its federation performance to be a viable platform for live sports. https://lemmy.ml/comment/1083536.

McCarthy is fine on his podcasts, but he’s not the best announcer. He definitely needs his co-host to be able to correct him on player names.
