Lemmy

Suddenly my server started getting thousands of requests per minute and my varnish cache hit rate jumped to 99%. Thank god for varnish!

Looks like the reddit blackout is #1 on the frontpage of hackernews, and this article is #2.

I actually posted this article to hackernews, but I never got a single upvote. This isn't my first time getting on the frontpage of hackernews, but it always happens when someone else reposts my link.

Can anyone tell me how the fuck hackernews' algorithm works to where I can't ever get traction but someone else does after me?

Fresh Reddit refugee here. Thanks for this!

This is absolutely amazing! Really well done!

This was great! Thanks!

Thank you! The manual method of creating URLs finally allowed me to subscribe to some communities on other instances. I really hope this is just for the short time that some lemmy servers struggle with the migration load.

I have a question that’s probably more specific to using Mlem to access Lemmy instances. How can I use that app to see notifications on Lemmy? I had a bunch of responses to a comment I made and had no idea because I was browsing on Mlem. No way to easily access my own posts/comments, nor see responses to those. I had to get into the web app to see that I had like 7 notifications.

Thank you for this =)

The only thing I need to improve this article is a short video demonstration showing how to find and add remote lemmy communities

Are there any video producers on Lemmy that can help? You'll easily get thousands unique views per day if you make a short "Guide to Lemmy" video :)

I think you should make a mention about the sorting options, Lemmy sorts posts by "Active" by default, if you want a more Reddit-like experience then you might want to sort by "Hot", and if you want a more forum-like experience then sort by "New Comments"
