Could be politics. A lot of people are appearently upset about the owners political views, which I think is very silly myself.
Also it seems that Reddit users are brigading against the Lemmy network due to the opinions of the instance owner.
Its just so stupid, all of this. Why are people like this? Why do we demand everyone to think the same way and have similar opinions, or we feel like we need to go fight them?
That’s sad indeed.
What views? And do you mean owner of lemmy.ml or browse.feddit.de ?
I meant Lemmy.ml. You can Google and find the controversy if you like, but to me it’s not a serious problem. The point of the fediverse is that each instance has its own rules. If you don’t like what Lemmy.ml is doing, use another instance. Don’t brigade against the entire network, like reddit users are doing. The technology itself is awesome.
Thanks, I think I found it. Good point regarding the technology and how you can just switch instances in case there’s anything wrong.
It’s most probably the immense load, I too had troubles finding a few communities on feddit.de that I knew existed on lemmy.ml, I had to try several times for them to show up.
I’m subscribed to them now but sometimes it’s hard to see new posts or to comment.
It’s a difficult situation, we’re hugging all lemmy servers to death lol, we have to be patient and wait until things go back to normal, hopefully :D
My bet would be on technical issues with indexing or indexing speed maybe? I do get results from lemmy.ml on browse.feddit.de .
Indeed, I checked for asklemmy when I posted and it wasn’t there, now it’s back up
Not quite sure, I’m only new here. The lemmy.ml list of federated instances does have feddit.de listed. And the feddit.de list of federated instances shows lemmy.ml also.
Not sure - could be because it’s the ‘official’ one and not a community server.
That’s not really intuitive coming from something that wants to reference everything. Thanks!
On 2nd look - I see lemmy.ml comms, could have been a ‘hickup’
Oh, what I meant is that when I go on browse.feddit.de, which says indexes all instances, lemmy.ml doesn’t appear. I still can find them from my instance. :)
I noticed that lemmy.world doesn’t have the equivalent browse.lemmy.world page. Maybe that’s something that the owner of feddit.de put in themselves?
afaik it is a service they host but is independent for their lemmy instance. It is supposed to find all communities on all instances, even ones that are blocked on feddit.de (like lemmygrad)
Huh you’re right. First thought was maybe ml is down, but it doesn’t seem to be. How odd!
