Trying to figure out why comments aren't showing up on other instances

We chose... wisely
- I don't understand whats going on lol why did we choose wisely by picking lemm.ee?
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
LEMM.EE GANG
hey im doing just fine on vlemmy.net here

I've been on .world since it was smaller but I'm debating on a new instance 🤔

- I can recommend https://thelemmy.club - purely out of self interest of course since I run it.
- If we are doing play on instance names. Then I would like one named lemmy.know. As in "let me know"
- Serious question… with ‘reddthat’ or ‘feddit’ and other similar plays on words… if this absolutely takes off (and I hope it does), can Spez not sue?
- Wait, we're sfw only? But I checked the "show nsfw" button... and we're federated with lemmynsfw.com?
I just switched from lemmy.world to sh.itjust.works after a day and it is completely different experience since it actually loads stuff fast
- Yup same same
- I agree, real fast instance
Yeah, it's being.... temperamental.

Big part of the concept of a fediverse is the decentralisation. It would be beneficial I think for more people to register on smaller-medium sized instances to help reduce the load on the large few

Or run your own, if you know how
- How much does it cost to run your own instance? Do you have to pay the whole domain, server, security package with a service like cloudflare and all?

Woah, is that a thing?

Yes. outbound federation can get bottle-necked, and when it's bad enough, it starts dropping content entirely.
Yeah, the processes that perform the actual federating via ActivityPub can quickly become overwhelmed, a server can develop a backlog. The solution is a combination of bug fixes by the software project and performance setting tweaks by server administrators to fine tune the federation processes

I'm playing both sides

I was going to reply with "so I always come out on top" on my lemmy.ml account but it's down lol

I predict slow performance for lemm.ee since many users are recommending it, just like how lemmy.world got recommended into oblivion and now has 70k users. Go to this website and pick a less crowded lemmy instance /node : https://the-federation.info/platform/73#drawer-opened
