That explains the “sync” logs I’ve been seeing! Is sync a good user experience?

I haven’t had my shit up for very long, and HOLY SHIT the unique visitors numbers are nuts. I think this is because of federation, but mainly the images being loaded across other instances.

I looked at deflect and it ain’t gonna be cheap, the number will only go up, and I am the sole user of the site. Storing the shit in a media bucket or whatever would fix it, but I’d have to pay for that shit too.

Fair enough, one other guy said it should be the thin block above the one pointed to. Makes sense, and it can still be yanked from under you.

We need more than just one big instance, we should have many.

It really is like magic. Also happy cake day.

I fucking wish that was a conspiracy theory. At least conspiracy theories are fun, this not so much.

I’m gonna try and hold out and see what happens. Piefed did not last long, it did federate with quite a few servers, but I was mainly browsing content on my one account.

Yes, Cantaloupe877 was made on both instances, using the same domain. After moving to Lemmy, several weird things started happening like me not being able to join communities, profile pictures not loading, and my posts not showing up on lemmy. I thought I configured the server wrong so I screwed about with it to no avail, but I discovered with further testing that other servers worked fine, I could join their communities and post fine, and I realized my mistake.

The only thing that remains broken that I am aware of is my profile picture. When that’ll fix itself or if ever, no idea, but it’s working pretty well now aside from that.

Still seems odd, because this server was just made, it hasn’t been offline for an extended period of time.
