Discussion - Potential piefed instance in the future? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello m@teys,

I've been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we've been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn't a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we'll actually vote on this.

Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.

Have a good week!

Yes please! I've already joined piefed.ca to be able to support a platform without sponsoring communist propaganda, but they seem to have issues federating content properly, it takes over 24h to see new posts from Lemmy, and many discussions will be over at that point.

This very post for example is not visible there at all.

Would hope that with more instances we'd also get to see content sooner.

Ah, that explains a lot. I don't want to join the main instance, nothing against it, but I've seen lemmy.world go overboard, so prefer to stick to some more "indie" instances.

I've got open registration at quokk.au if you want to give it a try. Posts seem to sync within seconds to minutes of most instances from my experience.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh sure, thanks! I'll pop over in a sec :-)

Please reach out if you experience any issues.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks, will do!

So, I just wanted to start using my account with your instance, but I'm getting login errors using Voyager. Is the API not active, by any chance?

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

API was active and I’ve just signed in to type this from my Voyager on IOS. So can confirm this should be working.

Is your app up to date? And what error are you getting?

[–] viking@quokk.au 1 points 2 weeks ago

Strange, it's working now. I only got the message "could not connect to quokk.au", no error code or anything. I had the latest beta running, didn't change anything in the interim.

That's odd. I'll try to get the attention of the .ca admins
