Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
If you like our communities so much, you could also create an account on slrpnk.net ๐
But yeah, two smaller instances with not much overlap in interests by their users tend to not federate well and you need to go the extra mile to search out the communities and subscribe to them.
Did it!
There is a website named lemmy-federate.com for this job.
Does it actually work? All of the jobs are "in progress" except one one the homepage
It works, those statuses are just a bit misleading
How it works is it subs to a community (from all instances connected to it) until someone from an instance subs and then it unsubs in that instance. In the previous version of the site when it unsubbed it would mark the instance it unsubbed from as completed on that community (although seems to be a bit broken here)
Yep, status is broken. The tool is working but not unsubscribing.
The source of the problem is that I cannot access the count of local subscribers at the moment. Therefore, it is not clear whether the tool should unsubscribe or not. I've created a merge request for this and the problem will be fixed in 0.19.4.
It looks like reddthat.com is on 0.19.4 and it's working correctly for them now.
Awesome!
Interesting, feel free to crosspost to !communitypromo@lemmy.ca or even !newcommunities@lemmy.world
Thanks, exactly what I searched for.
Lemmy has a huge problem with federation of small servers it seems? At least my server has immense troubles loading anything from some servers and it seems clicking the ! Links forces the server to load them.
I think every instance should promote a random community every day to prevent this tech-only and only big community monopoly
