I was meaning to be authoritative, and I am low-key blaming the admin team. I grant them the benefit of the doubt though. I still don't think it has anything to do with the 0.18.0 upgrade.

EDIT: I don't care what the admin team does, how loyal or dedicated they are, or anything like that. I just want the reddit alternative to not suck.

OMG. You're right! I just edited the title. Which, lol, will not show up everywhere.

Why did this get downvoted? Something being an "issue" on GitHub is about as meaningless as something can be. Unengaged developers are usually the result of unengaged users. I'm saying IF your admin (not that they did,) submitted an issue and then is just sitting back and waiting, that's shitty.

It's really quick to get running. You need a fairly reliable IP/hostname as this is how your server will talk to all other servers and users. If you use dynamic dns, make sure it's rapidly updated if your ip changes.

Upload will depend on your user's activity (posting/voting/commenting.) Download will depend on that PLUS what the users are subscribed to.

sh.it.works.sometimes

Fair enough. Keep in mind, being popular doesn't magically bestow the knowledge, resources, or willingness to handle issues.

Hilarious. This comment doesn't show on sh.itjust.works, which makes total sense. lemmy.world is responsible for sending it to other federated servers. Maybe kbin > lemmy right now?

Do it. Be super aware of how federation works though. The more stuff your users subscribe to the more network traffic you will need to accommodate.

Look. I'm not pointing fingers, but I know a thing or two and I can say with a high degree of certainty it is lemmy.world. :) Does the admin care? Do the users? Who knows. I just thought it was important information to have.

The silent failures are what actually miff me the most. Like to an uneducated user, everything is just working fine, but in reality they are stuck in lemmy.world.

It's a known issue, but if you look at the issues, the reason for it is "could be lots of things." Relying on a FOSS project to fix the problems of the community is kind of naive. If the admins don't step up then I've no sympathy for them when the whole thing crumbles.

Correct. I am not testing with any of those instances. You shouldn't expect that to work at all, but I guess some users might not know.
