Like I said, I'm already on a different instance (feddit.uk) but the instance I'm on seems a bit flaky. There are communities on other instances that don't show any content, whereas they do on lemmy.world. I'd heard that lemmy.world was handling the influx of new users quite well in comparison, so thought I'd try to switch.

I will say we desperately need an r/cricket alike before the Ashes starts. Was rather hoping not to have to take matters into my own hands - but if I understand your intention, your sub is more about playing, right?

Edit: just found c/cricket on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, but maybe a UK-oriented one wouldn't be a terrible idea...?

I'm a bit more cynical, given the circumstances. When I read Red Reader was getting an exception I checked it out and, as a general purpose Reddit app for Android, I found it clunky in comparison to apps like Infinity and Boost. I wonder if that was the actual rationale, i.e. choose an app that's not as appealing an alternative to the official app so that you can cite it as justification that you are listening to app developers who "do it right" with respect to open source, accessibility etc.

Oh, I do. Often. The pain and blood is so worth it.

Any time I try to go the Kbin web site as a regular end user, it routes through a Cloudflare "are you human?" Captcha. I wonder if this is causing the issue. If I try a similar URL on my instance I get "404: couldn't find community", but if my instance is getting the same Cloudflare nonsense back, it would probably explain it.
