Agree! Next step is preventing “Lemmy” and “Lemmy.world” being the same thing. :(

I think it’s a known issue. All of the admins of all the instances are working hard to try and cope. ;)
Is there a bot for polls?
Nah. I know my stuff. This is for sure the Revolution.
Canada here. Basically, everything I learned is from parodies. American history is not a big deal in K-12 curriculum. If i had to write a 2 paragraph essay to save my life:
It was a period in history where guns were loaded one ball at a time by stuffing it down the barrel with a stick. Wealthy white people who profited off slavery all lived in the southern states for some reason. This group started to hear that other people in the rest of the (northern) states were starting to talk about making slavery illegal. To protect their interests they formed a separate government, formed an army and attempted to overtake and rule all of the states.
Their army wore red, and the north's defending army wore blue. They shot at each other with cannons for a few years and many people died, mostly from shitty health-care and infections rather than acute death. The north won and now lots of people who were never in the war, pretend to have the war again to remind them to never have a civil war.
I'd say the impact was that slavery was abolished, but it was abolished in many other countries without a civil war so I guess the impact was a lot of parody material for pop culture.
And that is all I know about Paul Revere and the American Revolution.

Nope, but also not nope?
It is technically one-sided, and it works at the instance level, not the community level. If instance (server) A adds instance B to their defederated list: instance A ignores everything from instance B and does not send any updates to instance B. Instance B doesn't have to add instance A to it's defederation list, but it doesn't matter because it doesn't make a difference to what instance A is doing.
Shocking research by Statistics Canada uncovers surprising economics discovery: people with lots of money lend it to people with less for more than it's worth: rich people get richer, and poor people get poorer!
"We were so focused on how fast people got sucked dry, we never stopped to realize why," said Mike Hunt, an assistant-upper-middle-deputy-manager at Statistics Canada.
Mike goes on to say: "We've been struggling to classify "monetary gains," for the lower class. We decided that getting two-for-one coupons, or winning a toonie from a scratcher counts. That way we can say for sure everyone is gaining!"
kbin posts DO show up in the details table. you would need to know the ip they are coming from. they don't include their instance host name in the header, which is why it's not in the table and instance is null for some IPs. also I don't scrape and subscribe kbin magazines like i do for lemmy ATM, so the traffic will be low. probably just a few from kbin.social.
Should already be able to:
https://redash.io/help/user-guide/integrations-and-api/api
For example: https://aftershock.lemmy.management/api/queries/4/results
The API key for public users is the same as the dashboard slug: oT7pdcoeHWccpvZCNmTpJKoGZND8ZdRO3wDWpMug
It's a combination of software and scalability issues. There's no ONE thing the lemmy developers can code that will magically fix it, and there's not ONE thing the admins can do to make the current code run on the currently deployed infrastructure. The software was not tested to work at the volume and scale we're seeing between the top 5 instances, and not all of the admins are prepared to work through it. It requires a lot of "togetherness" to change and test the code with "right-sized" resource and operations management. Pretty mature stuff for a rag-tag group of reddit refugees. :)
Right now, lemmy.world's admin team is probably doing the best job of collaboration and communication (props to everyone else too.) Prioritizing the issues and focusing on them for the sale of the actual users is the key. Some admins are just expecting the next upgrade to fix everything without being involved. Blaming the software is not the solution. Eventually that might be a good position, but this early in the game it just won't work. Everyone is still working hard!
Lemmy was written an tested at what is essentially: "raspberry-pi scale" and has been forced to make the maturity jump to "could-scale," practically overnight. It sucks the growth isn't smooth, but it is totally understandable.
tl;dr There is no github issue because there isn't one problem in code that can fix it.
