.world
Thankfully nobody uses that instance.
Right! Ehe he he… He…
Hey, I’ve got an idea, how about we share some of our favorite instances here You go first!
I like sh.itjust.works. They have good spaceflight posts.
sh.itjust.works depends on cloudflare, sadly
.radio was up under the global outage
I like all the coolest instances. We all know the ones!
One should pick them based on their rules. Other than that, I like piefed. But there aren’t many active instances tho.
I’m just looking for one not run by fascists. So far .world is the only one where I haven’t been perma-banned for disagreeing with Nazis and their propaganda.
Are you saying that any other instances are tolerant with Nazis/ Facism? Do any of these other instances host Nazi/ Facist communities too? If you were able to elaborate, I’m certain many people would be interested into knowing which communities or instances to de-federate (e.g. like many admins already did to hexbear).
PS. I can’t find it now, but there was a website like https://lemmyverse.net/ that showed the top instances that were defederated from the rest, and some “4chan-like” scene was around… if anyone remember which website I am talking about and could share, it would be great too. Thanks
Yeah, it’s time to move. Thanks for the reminder.
Uhhhh

I could still access .world though.
Quite a few lemmy instances became inaccessible, including piefed.world.
Someone shared this with me earlier
Lmfaoooooo
Nice barcode generator
- stares intently…
lemmy.filthyfilthy.one? oh wait
The funny thing is that the Lemmy nodes are synchronized with each other, and to calculate the real address of any Federation node, it is enough to raise a node, write a comment in the interested node, and then reply to yourself from that node. Done. Real IP in you node logs. However, everyone continues to use Cloudflare… This will only protect you from technically illiterate people.
The point of cloudflare isn’t just to hide your real IP. It’s the caching, bot scrape protection, etc.
And an ai slop trainer blocker, which is a fucking godsend.
Yeah. I’m going to figure out another solution but this is a big one.
If you are technically capable, Anubis is an option.
Yeah that’s what I’m looking at for my instance.
And all this is done with a single entry in hosts after receiving the real address. After all, knowing the real address, the bot doesn’t have to go through cloudflare. The only good argument is caching, and it can be implemented independently. I find it strange to give all the traffic, including authorization, to cloudflare decrypt for the sake of caching.
You can simply configure your server to reject non-cloudflare traffic, as you’re supposed to if you’re doing it properly.

and I don’t understand why you think CloudFlare keeps your traffic so secret. After all, if you don’t pay for the service, you’re the product.
Heh. You can just put a header that nginx routes to. For example:
curl -H “Host: lemmy.ml” https://1.1.1.1/
P.S. The address is not real. It’s just an example.
Yeah I realized that and deleted the comment before you replied
Plus side of being federated is it’s easy to just switch to one of your alts on another instance and still be able to use it.
Yeah, but I imagine federation between instances will be all messed up. Like if .world is not reachable, then federation between world and whatever other instance you use will get out of sync. But I’m not a server admin so I’m just guessing
Only until they come back online and resync. I don’t know the guts of the process, so I don’t know what pitfalls there may be, but I’m pretty sure it’s designed to handle temporary outages without requiring intervention.
Bluesky and many other Lemmy instances were down as well. But i have to say, Bluesky recovered way quicker that any of the other socials.
When do I tell you Brownsky is Centralized.
Even if bluesky’s main servers had an outage, I would be unaffected since my account is on a different instance.
Most users wouldn’t be reachable tho, since they’re on bluesky’s servers.
Thats why true decentralization matters
“true” decentralization depends entirely on your definition of decentralization.
Never mind I didn’t get it
I don’t know how I fucked up that comment so bad. I edited it there.
Whatever doesn’t matter. Take care
Blusky: the social media site where people post bloopers of pet videos featuring huskies. It’s a very small niche.
There’s plenty to see on Bluesky. (It’s spelled with an e btw guys.)
Lots of tech people to follow, some progressive famous people that left X to come there, etc.
Maybe, but OP’s found the ideal site if you just want husky bloopers.
Oh shit, it’s actually a site? Blusky? I thought y’all were just misspelling Bluesky.
Shit, my bad you guys. 😂
I don’t think it is. I think you just missed that Merc’s original comment was a joke about the misspelling in the OP, not an actual description of Bluesky
Bruh I’m whooshing all over, aren’t I.
I’m over on Bluesguy with B.B. King, SRV, Buddy Guy, etc… It’s not worth all the heartache.
Is there much outside of tech and politics? I’ve seen some cat stuff too but that’s about it. I love cat content but I see enough politics on lemmy and I’m not super into tech.
I bet there’s other stuff too but for humourous content and other interests I don’t use microblogging sites, I use Instagram, Lemmy, and YouTube for those. Bluesky, Mastodon, stuff like that is good for posting tech updates, political takes, that sort if thing, IMO.
And yes I’m trying to not use Instagram but these mfs be posting some funny ass meme videos and I need that in this world climate. 😩 Also skateboarding content…
Fair enough. I mostly just use Lemmy now, but I still use Instagram for hockey and baseball content, and YouTube for long-form video content.
It sounds like I don’t have much of a use for BlueSky/Mastodon/etc then. I see enough politics and tech stuff on Lemmy, I don’t need all that elsewhere too.
Yeah, you’re definitely fine without, probably. Bluesky and Mastodon type platforms are more if you’re interested in what one particular person has to say, IMO. I have a few people/accounts I’m interested in what they have to say, so that’s the only reason I’m using it. 👍
Um, ackcheyuallly, it’s probounced “bluss key”.
I realized further down in the thread yeah 😄
I haven’t really looked into the whole federation thing of Lemmy and I’m just basically using it as a user replacing reddit. I believe that my instance is on.zip and I can tell you for damn sure that it was down hard. A lot of the headlines would pop it absolutely no comments would pop from anyone. And then after an hour or so I couldn’t even get to any instance. But luckily I have recently started using dig again after getting an invite and dig was up the entire time so I was able to replace that.
The thing is, every instance is its own server (virtual or physical). If it uses Cloudflare services somewhere, well…
If it uses some other stack, it’ll be just fine. Neither of the two instances I’m on seem to use Cloudflare and hence the experience was uninterrupted for me.
The famous Russian site Blusky. In Soviet Russia social media federate you.
That’s how I always pronounce it as well actually.
It for sure was.
Lemmy.ca tanked.
is this a GoToSocial joke?
Didn’t have any issues on Fedia.io.
