META - where did the people go?
META - where did the people go?
I noticed that for a week or so now the community has been much smaller tham it used to be. I'm seeing an almost 90% decrease in posts, comments, and votes. Did something get defederated or did a big community go down? Lemmy stats show that Lemmy average user count is still about the same.
You're viewing a single thread.
On the left: this community viewed directly through lemmy.world instance. On the right: this community viewed through sopuli.xyz
I can't recall the exact details, but I've read from some other communities talk of there being some federation slowdowns between lemmy world and other instances, so maybe this is related?
...In fact, this comment in reply to you may serve as an example of the delays, as I responded only a few minutes after yours.
It certainly seems lemmy.world has grown too big for the software and/or their setup to handle. Which is problematic because users there wouldn’t really notice.
Sopuli is currently 5 days behind LW: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/cdfzs0dwal3pca/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=lemmy.world&var-remote_instance=sopuli.xyz&var-remote_software=All&from=now-7d&to=now
Another reason to not centralize everything there
Where is there a good guide on how to navigate lemmy and how it all works? I’m new here
You might look at this intro guide from one of Lemmee's admins, or this one from one of Lemmy World's admins. They give decent overviews, and you can set aside the site-specific stuff where relevant, e.g. Lemmee's image size limits.
Thank you so much!
