This wave will surely redouble when the apps actually get turned off next week.

Fedi has always had scalloped growth. Big Social tightens the thumb-screws, a wave of people leave, half of them go back because it turns out they can put up with the thumb-screws after all. Those that remain settle in and start servers. The waterline is then higher when the next wave comes.

Probably the "company" that they thought you were shilling for is Kbin or Lemmy? Which aren't companies of course, but an understandable mistake.

Presumably the people on Reddit will become more and more in favour of the admins, as everyone who isn't leaves.

Soon all that is left will be the Spez Fan Club.

Everything was good for a while, but the 500s are back here on Fedia, particularly on index pages :(

Yeah, federation ain't working right in ways bigger than just kbin.social having a captcha. This whole instance feels almost isolated at times. Might be overloading issue. Jerry seemed to think the CPUs were all racing at max all the time and planned to upgrade to 4x the hardware. Not sure if that happened yet.

Dunno, but there is something weird about that group on the sopuli.xyz server.

If you look at the page
https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens

You get a 404 even though the page
https://sopuli.xyz/c/memes

Works okay.

To see it on the sopuli site you have to look at
https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens@sopuli.xyz

Like the group is remote to the server, even though the remote host it's on is indeed that server.

Notice that if you click the group-name from https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens@sopuli.xyz it points to https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens which is the 404.

Curious.

Yep, look to me like it's more than just the DDOS protection from kbin.social, no federated posts in "new" for about 24 hours now.

[–] pre@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

Ah, okay, it might be fixed.

I think I had somehow manged to subscribe to entire instances?

The subscriptions list has a "instances" section which contained a few hosts.

Dunno how I did that. I think I read some people comaining it was impossible. Maybe they were Lemmy users.

@0xtero @jerry

They still aren't federating with anyone, still have cloudflare DDOS check in front asking users to fill in a capcha. Obviously robot server-fetching for federation can't do that.

Was hoping they'd have sorted that out by now. Traffic seems to have dropped a bit, and surely the federation-endpoints could have been excepted?

We just have to keep waiting till that goes away. You can check by visiting kbin.social and seeing if the system to verify you are a human is still there,

[–] pre@fedia.io 5 points 2 years ago

It passed for me. Deleted my account today and now it's all over.

[–] pre@fedia.io 1 points 2 years ago

Yep. Unsubscribed from everyone and everything, sub page unchanged. Re-subscribed and /sub remains the same.

Seems like it's broke for me, not obviously different from the front page.

Wonder how I broke that.

[–] pre@fedia.io 1 points 2 years ago

Hummm. So it's just me then? Strange.

@Rain3h Dunno waht the Jarboa app is.

But log in to the feddit.uk server, search for @gunners in the search, and if nothing is broken with federation it should show up.

The cevat is that sometimes at the moment servers are turning on DDOS protection, and that breaks the federation. Hopefully they eventually can turn that off and restore federation to it's full working state. lemmy world seems to be connecting to fedia.io at the moment at least.
