Heard it was DDoS attacks, which seems pretty likely.
Another benefit to using a smaller instance (or hosting your own), you don't have to worry about this stuff

Hopefully they don't try to mess with Beehaw, y'all are too nice :)

Even more of a reason to

1 - have an account on multiple instances

2 - support multiple instances. Can't take everyone down at once!

[–] lemmylefty@geddit.social 36 points 1 year ago (6 children)

First account: vlemmy.net - went down 2 days later Second account: lemmy.world - has been DDOSed twice and hacked once the week after making the account Third account: this one.

Which instance do you want me to tank next? Apparently I’m pretty good at it!

It seems like you're expressing something about Lemmygrad that isn't enthusiastic and unconditional endorsement. Clearly you are a reactionary alt-right racist Nazi, and probably (definitely) a CIA plant.

[–] lemmylefty@geddit.social 9 points 1 year ago

Call me a CIActi, because I am dry and prickly and dependent on government funds to survive.

[–] BloodForTheBloodGod@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Don't forget anti Chinese racist.

Oh wait, that's just Lemmy.ml

The greater good!

Seems to fit with your user name...

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

lemm.ee! The lead admin is top notch, he contributes directly to the lemmy codebase and implements his working mods there before they get accepted. He was also one of the key helpers in the first lemmy.world hack (which incidentally lemm.ee was immune to).

I don’t think it’s in anyone’s best interests to encourage mass users to any single instance. That “everybody get in this same room” behavior is part of the problem.

Lemmy and the fediverse depend upon users distributing themselves across many reliable instances. More users in a single instance equals more demand on that individual server and more vulnerability based on that single server’s status.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

While I agree with that, lemm.ee doesn't seem to be dominating much. It isn't even top 3 - the top 4 in my understanding is lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, beehaw.org and sh.itjust.works (in the order they fell out my brain). So I don't feel guilty cheerleading for it, at least not right now.

However in terms of user experience, lemm.ee has been by far the most reliable for me. Afaik it was the first to have a truly stable version of v0.18 (he didn't upgrade right away, but implemented a modified version of a release candidate of v0.18.1).

[–] SuperSecretThrowaway@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does he have a way to fund his lemmy instance? I'd love to help support someone like that who contributes to the codebase

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep! He has two methods I'm aware of currently, his Github and Ko-Fi. I asked him which he prefers, he said Github has slightly lower fees.

[–] freeman@lemmy.pub 8 points 1 year ago

Not as extreme. But similar experience. Joined beehaw, then they defederated from some of the main instances I subbed.

Joined another one and it had a 2 day outage.

Just built my own and use the other accounts for specific stuff (ie: beehaw is dedicated to subs only in that instance now. )

So what really happened to vlemmy.net?

[–] Ganbat@lemmyonline.com 4 points 1 year ago

From what I heard, it just kinda poofed.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.zip has been pretty boss. The admin is pretty transparent about the server and everyone the so far seem like reasonable folks.

[–] monerobull@monero.town 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

can't down everyone at once

Well not until the next catastrophic federation bug gets discovered and abused 💀

[–] 37219@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Federation will prevail! 🖖

Yup, I have one on beehaw and one on LW
