    Yeah I’m much more forgiving for this platform when it just had a crazy influx of users. In fact, I’m actively participating more because I feel like my voice matters a little bit more then it did on Reddit and I want to see this community thrive

    Anyone impatient with Lemmy bugs or downtime clearly wasn’t around for Reddit’s early days.

    Scaling up social websites is never smooth. Expect bumps.

    It also HIGHLY depends where you sign up. Over at feddit I couldn’t login to browser on PC anymore, couldn’t change my password, which in turn fucked up my login process overall (aka being stuck with Safari and the App I already was logged in), updates aren’t made and a lot of shit is blocked or defederated because of reasons (some even make a lot of sense, so no hard feelings here).

    To be fair, it seems like some users on Lemmy.world had the same problems with logins last week. We are still in the try things out until something sticks phase.

      This is why you shouldn’t serve an open server from home. If you serve your feddit from your house, it’s ok if it’s for you and your kids. But if you add more than that, I wonder if it just stops. I serve my photo server for my personal use and it makes struggling noises when I look at the images. I picked a cheap 100 HP mini desktop to try this on so I’m not surprised. So imagine if 100 people wanted a 20MB image from the server’s HDD.

          Probably the same thing that happens with Reddit. A slow connection doesn’t get confirmation of posting as fast as it wants so it sends the post again.

          When I use Jerboa or Connect, sometimes it’ll say my comment failed to post when it actually worked. I’ll then retry, which results in a double post.
