Since the 11th @ 9am UTC, LW has seen a 2 fold increase of activities. If my insider knowledge is right (and math) it’s 7req/s average up from 3req/s.

Lucky for both of us we are not subbed to every community on LW but I think we are subbed just enough to be affected.

Relevant: https://reddthat.com/comment/8316861 tl;dr. The current centralisation results in a lemmy-verse theoretical maximum for of 1 activity per 0.6 seconds. or 100 activities per minute. As total transfer of packets is just under 0.6 seconds between EU -> AU and back.

It’s a sad day when something like this happens. Unfortunately with how the Lemmy’s All works it’s possible a huge amount of the initial downvotes are regular people not wanting to see the content, as downvotes are federated. This constituted as part of my original choices for disabling it when I started my instance. We had the gripes people are displaying here and it probably constituted to a lack in Reddthat’s growth potential.

There needs to be work done not only for flairs, which I like the idea of, but for a curated All/Frontpage (per-instance). Too many times I see people unable to find communities or new content that piques their interest. Having to “wade through” All-New to find content might attribute to the current detriment as instead of a general niche they might want to enjoy they are bombarded with things they dislike.

Tough problem to solve in a federated space. Hell… can’t even get every instance to update to 0.18.5 so federated moderation actions happen. If we can’t all decide on a common Lemmy instance version, I doubt we can ask our users to be subjected to not using the tools at their disposal. (up/down/report).

Keep on Keeping on!
