a better solution is to decouple the query from individual api requests by adding a caching layer. we’ll get there eventually

Just saying…

I’m trying an instance-specific link, it isn’t working.

if you click https://lemmy.world/comment/2024416 what do you see? i see nothing, just a blank page

!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I love U 235

Lemmy has cleared some early hurdles to grow from near-zero to 60k DAUs in a month. I’ve enjoyed talking to people over the past month in a more friendly and intimate way than on that other site. The main communities are fun and viable but the niche ones are mostly empty. I run a niche hobby community and despite having a few hundred subscribers <5% have ever commented, <0.5% have posted. I think Lemmy needs to be perhaps 10x larger than it is now to be self-sustaining for niche communities.

Great instance review, thank you! FYI your markdown links are broken, switch the brackets, links are [like] (this) not (like)[this]

Bite my shiny metal ass!

That fourth quote is legit quality.

A lot of mobile apps don’t display community banners, and they’re how a lot of people interact with lemmy.

How are you testing status?

Currently showing sh.itjustworks as 100% online. Are you sure about that?

It’s not just you! sh.itjust.works is down.

After having seen it, there are some scenes where it is difficult to follow the dialog which I’m sure is intentional. I haven’t seen Tenet but I think Oppenheimer is not as bad in this regard, in part because there’s less exposition – this is all based on real events in the real world and there aren’t a lot of mechanics to have to explain, and also because the story isn’t as plot-driven as many of Nolan’s thrillers. No MacGuffins, no car chases, shootouts or real twists; it’s more about the man, his relationships and how his career plays out. That said, for example there is a scene where he’s talking to his wife outdoors, it’s windy and they’re not facing camera and the fact that I couldn’t follow what they were saying did take me out… instead of being engaged in the conversation I was more aware I was sitting there watching Chris Nolan dialogue, waiting for it to be over.

Ah, ok. So if lemmy.world dies, but !somecommunity@lemmy.world was federated to 2 different other instances, those instances wouldn’t be able to “talk to each other”? They’d just have snapshots that they could locally interact with, but never see anything else? So is the fate of the Lemmyverse a graveyard of communities from dead instances?

meaning you could read my reply on a community that basically no longer exists

oh really? does it actually work this way? if lemmy.world dies, can all its communities continue to live on as long as there are lemmy instances out there federated and subscribed?

I wonder about this as well – because communities are tied to a specific home instance, that instance going down affects that community, potentially killing it. Something more akin to hashtags/tags/labels wouldn’t be tied to an instance so they would be more robust, though you’d lose the moderation of a community and just have a firehose of posts/comments…

It’s called a single-point of failure in Engineering.

For that instance, yes. For the whole of Lemmy, no. Everything else keeps on chugging along.
