Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I do the majority of my Lemmy use on my own personal instance, and I've noticed that some threads are missing comments, some large threads, even large quantities of them. Now, I'm not talking about comments not being present when you first subscribe/discover a community to your instance, in this case, I noticed it with a lemmy.world thread that popped up less than a day ago, very well after I subscribed.

At the time of writing, that thread has 361 comments. When I view the same thread on my instance, I can see 118, that's a large swathe of missing content for just one thread. I can use the search feature to forcibly resolve a particular comment to my instance and reply to it, but that defeats a lot of the purpose behind having my own instance.

So has anyone else noticed something similar happening? I know my instance hasn't gone down since I created it, so it couldn't be that.

This arises from the good ol issue of everybody just migrating to the same three or four big servers which end overloaded with their own users and can't send updates to other instances.

I remember the same happening to Mastodon during the first few exodus until a combination of people not staying, stronger servers and software improvements settled the issue.

I can barely get updates from lemmy.ml or lemmy.world

Beehaw seems to perform better.

About half of the communities on lemmy.ml I subscribed tomare on "Subscribe Pending" and have been since I started this server.
