We enabled the CloudFlare AI bots and Crawlers mode around 0:00 UTC (20/Sept).
This was because we had a huge number of AI scrapers that were attempting to scan the whole lemmyverse.
It successfully blocked them... While also blocking federation 😴
I've disabled the block. Within the next hour we should see federation traffic come through.
Sorry for the unfortunate delay in new posts!
Tiff
I can neither confirm or deny for the safety of my pigeons.
That awkward moment when you are the person they are talking about when running beta in production!
Relevant: https://reddthat.com/comment/8316861 tl;dr. The current centralisation results in a lemmy-verse theoretical maximum for of 1 activity per 0.3 seconds, or 200 activities per minute. As total transfer of packets is just under 0.3 seconds between EU -> AU and back.
Edit: can't math when sleepy
Leave it! We need the evidence!
It's a sad day when something like this happens. Unfortunately with how the Lemmy's All works it's possible a huge amount of the initial downvotes are regular people not wanting to see the content, as downvotes are federated. This constituted as part of my original choices for disabling it when I started my instance. We had the gripes people are displaying here and it probably constituted to a lack in Reddthat's growth potential.
There needs to be work done not only for flairs, which I like the idea of, but for a curated All/Frontpage (per-instance). Too many times I see people unable to find communities or new content that piques their interest. Having to "wade through" All-New to find content might attribute to the current detriment as instead of a general niche they might want to enjoy they are bombarded with things they dislike.
Tough problem to solve in a federated space. Hell... can't even get every instance to update to 0.18.5 so federated moderation actions happen. If we can't all decide on a common Lemmy instance version, I doubt we can ask our users to be subjected to not using the tools at their disposal. (up/down/report).
Keep on Keeping on!

I chose poke bugs. And look where I am now!
If you don't see create community in the top next to create post, then your home server doesn't allow users to create community
No. You have to have an account on that server. (And have to use that account regularly as well, otherwise you won't see reports about your community)
You make posts.
Don't forget & in community names and sidebars.
Constantly getting trolled by &
This is sso support as the client. So you could use any backend that supports the oauth backend (I assume, didn't look at it yet).
So you could use a forgejo instance, immediately making your git hosting instance a social platform, if you wanted.
Or use something as self hostable like hydra.
Or you can use the social platforms that already exist such as Google or Microsoft. Allowing faster onboarding to joining the fediverse. While allowing the issues that come with user creation to be passed onto a bigger player who already does verification. All of these features are up for your instance to decide on.
The best part, if you don't agree with what your instance decides on, you can migrate to one that has a policy that coincides with your values.
Hope that gives you an idea behind why this feature is warranted.
