Hmm yeah I may have caused that... I'm suspecting it was WefWef that caused lemmy.world to slow down almost to a halt... I reverted a change I made for wefwef and now the site works again, but wefwef doesn't.. I guess we'll need to troubleshoot further

As a longtime user of Apollo and new user of Lemmy, I’m trying out a number of clients right now. I’m actually really impressed with wefwef. I’m definitely rooting for you!

I was conspiratorially thinking it was reddit doing a ddos attack. Lol

This would be like when WWE attacked WCW with DX front and center. But less awesome

Single handedly causing carnage! /s

Amazing. You made me go outside and touch grass.

If you can, self host, [there is a docket container as wefwef is open source] (https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef).

Wait, wefwef proxies all requests? How is that not a man-in-the-middle attack? Are user credentials being stored by wefwef?

I'm selfhosting my client and still can't make it work with Lemmy.world.

[–] Guster@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Would love to but not sure how to unfortunately and can't access lemmy documentation right now getting error 404

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It’s not working for me either.

When I was still on /kbin, I spent some time deciding which Lemmy instance to join, lemmy.world is the first to be crossed out since browsing it always feels incredibly slow.

Using.world, I cannot access lemmy w/ wefwef. I can with any other client

[–] echo_bravo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. lemmy.world is either under heavy load or being updated to 0.18 (there was a post about it). As soon as the server comes back up, it should go back to normal.

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ruud just said otherwise lol

Yeah I had to switch to vlemmy.net for it to work, which involved creating a new account and getting it approved. If this is the type of shit we have to put up with using Lemmy then I may as well just go back to Reddit

[–] Unimps@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

None of the people hosting these instances were prepared for the massive influx of new users. Lemmy is still a platform in it's infancy, many of the people running these instances are trying their hardest to keep things afloat.

Reddit is one of the largest platforms that exists and the number of people seeking an alternative is astronomical.

Besides that, if Reddit goes down, it's down. You can't just seek out another instance and use that, this is something I would personally consider a feature.

[–] FecesInYourFaces@vlemmy.net 0 points 1 year ago

Yup it’s not ready for prime time. I’m staying on Reddit until this platform matures a little bit more.
