How do I find the lowest ping Lemmy instance?
How do I find the lowest ping Lemmy instance?
I joined Lemmy a few days ago under the lemmy.world instance and want to keep it as my main instance, but it’s being pretty laggy.
I don’t have access to a computer to ping each instance so am wondering if there’s a mobile way to do so.
You're viewing a single thread.
Start with physical location https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/map
then ping/test the ones you like closest to you.
This is amazing! Thank you!
It's weird. My instance is hosted on a VPS in New Jersey, but shows here in Mexico. The company I rent the server from doesn't have a data center in Mexico
they providing any edge caching for you?
Not as far as I can tell. It's a pretty barebones VPS from IONOS
somehow this is dns's fault
This is awesome, found a tiny instance near me and it's the fastest one I've used yet
small instances are the best, remember it will take some time before new subscriptions start flowing into the server esp if you are the first person to sub to a remote community.
step one, make sure you are searching for the community with the right format
!<communityname>@<server>
you might need to try a couple times and wait a min, its slow with no ui indicator that its still working
if that fails, get a link to a post from the community (be sure to use the community's home instance) and search for that. Once again it may take a few attempts and some waiting. If it fails, just try again tmw, sync things.
Thank you! This is helpful. I finally found it and got it to load all the posts.
Yea ended up choosing a pretty popular one near me, hopefully they don’t shut down or something though. Thanks!
always a risk. keep an eye out for migration tools.
