It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping.

Also a few people who came to see how it was, and weren't attracted enough to become regular visitors.

Curious to see at which number we'll stabilize.

Next peak will probably happen after either major features release (e.g. exhaustive mod tools allowing reluctant communities to move from Reddit) or the next Reddit fuck up (e.g. removing old.reddit)

your comments there are exceptionally aggressive. you accuse the developers of “hazing” you when they disagree with a technical decision you’ve made, and then insult them, posting wild rants. i’ve seen you do this many times. you need to step back, relax, and not take technical feedback so personally

To be fair, I think he has a point.

The way to convey it is very much debatable, but the poor database performance of Lemmy seems to be what puts LemmyWorld down so often.

As LW is the biggest instance so far, it's a bit concerning for the potential scaling of instances

agreed. but lashing out at developers who are just trying to find out why the db performance is subpar with accusations of “hazing” is incredibly aggravating and antithetical to the entire concept of FOSS. there is a reason why almost every open source organization uses codes of conduct

As I said, very debatable 😄

I've stepped back and watched them ignore the issue since May when all the servers were crashing. Every single Lemmy server was falling over while they ignored the PostgreSQL problems.

The mistakes are obvious and huge. These are not minor topics.

I think they are hazing the entire World Wide Web, Reddit users, etc. How else can you explain such basic SQL problems that they have allowed to go on for so long?

Its' as if the mere concept of Redis or Memcache never existed... and that nobody ever heard of JOIN performance problems. If it isn't extreme social hazing, what is it?
