It’s up (and fast) for me rn. They have been getting DDOS’d in a way specifically targeted for sites running Lemmy. Lemmy is still beta software so hopefully this can be a growing experience for the greater Fediverse. The .world admins are some of the most capable out there.
It’s amazing how federation makes it so those of us on different instances don’t even notice when .world gets DDOS’d
Also the most racist, which is why I left
Too bad I’m not Canadian.
We can’t all be perfect.
Sorry
Screenshot this and attach it as a request for citizenship exception.
It’s almost like you can sign up without being from Canada
But nothing would be relevant.
Well, that’s because it’s in Canada. Nothing relevant ever comes from there except Celine Dion and maple syrup.
Legit though, are you under the assumption that the instance only allows Canadian related communities? There’s all kinds of C/s on there that aren’t about Canada. And that doesn’t matter with lemmy (much) in the first place. It only matters if you exclusively want to use the local feed. Your subscriptions feed doesn’t have to be from that instance, and the all feed gives you access to anything anyone there has access to. As soon as you search for a community, the whole instance gets access to it via federation. I figure you’re joking, but just in case you weren’t, what instance you’re from doesn’t limit your feeds to a significant degree (usually).
I wasn’t joking, but I didn’t want to feel like I was intruding as a stupid American.
Canadians are Americans too.
I mean a USA American, the stereotypical jingo.
I dig that for sure!
Afaik, they don’t mind at all. I know there’s a ton of American users there as it is, so if they mind, they’re not minding out loud lol
My final decision is no. I’ll stay out of their business.
Yes, some of the bigger communities there are !pcgaming@lemmy.ca, !til@lemmy.ca, !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca, !lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca, !bicycles@lemmy.ca, !trippinthroughtime@lemmy.ca, !traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns@lemmy.ca, !plex@lemmy.ca and !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca. And none of these are Canada-specific. I guess I have to follow !fediverselore@lemmy.ca now 😀
Man how many alts do you have ha ha. Everytime I see your username it’s a different domain
It’s the same username for each instance. Does nobody else do that?
I do the same to be honest
No … my alts always have different names. But they are for things I don’t want others to know.
Isn’t the whole point of federation that you don’t need multiple accounts or pay attention to multiple sites?
It’s working for me, posting this from lemmy.world
Same
I doubt they gave up. Probably under attack again.
I feel bad for the admins. That must be annoying AF.
I am on it right now.
However they have had some issues lately which is detailed in this post
Great posts. Sounds like the fascists are mad that they don’t get access to the largest instance without having to follow it’s rules.
Fascists are everywhere on that instance and they preemptively banned the leftist instance from federation. Lemmy.world is easily the most fascist friendly of the major instances
Given that they preemptively defederated from hexbear, yeah I’d say you’re right
@thecam This link struggled to load and did so incompletely.
Here is an archive.org cap someone made yesterday: https://web.archive.org/web/20230809182416/https://lemmy.world/post/2923697
I ended up creating an alt account on lemmy.blahaj.zone because lemmy.tf was down, so now I have two accounts with the same username wirh one as a back up
It should always be the same username.
This guy Lemmys
Doesn’t blahaj.zone itself throw errors all the time?
At the time Blahaj worked and tf didnt
why does lemmy world do anything?
it’s a very unstable instance. I recommend migrating away from it.

So create more technology communities on different instances? We have the technology for it now.
I created this one today because we need more, and we need to spread out. If you don’t want to join lemmy.today, start a community on your own instance. But spread out.

I understand. Well we will se how it goes :)
