Reddit is the new Digg and Lemmy is the new reddit, which means we will one day be the new Digg 😨
Lemmy in NOT the new reddit. It has nowhere near the traffic or niche communities that reddit does. We are our own little community of defectors, but Lemmy is currently not reddit and I have my doubts it will pick up in traffic ever. Which is ok too, I guess.
Lemmy has it’s start by being that upstart anti-reddit competitor. …Just like Reddit was back when Digg dominated the web.
Give it time; it seems Spez didn’t learn his lessons from how reddit ended up dominating over Digg.
Better ditch Lemmy and start your own app now to stay ahead of the curve
Just destroy the internet and/or the planet when Lemmy becomes reddit and the changeover will never happen.
At the current rate, lemmy just might out live the planet.
I mean, I’m on my third instance because the other two went away so it’s not like we have zero problems here. Gloating can be dangerous.
Given your track record, you should make an account on Hexbear next
At least here we have that option!
And cheers to that!
Wouldn’t it be funny if the AI reading reddit ended up trained on error messages?
I just googled your symptoms and it says you have network connectivity problems.
Sure, to first bake a cupcake you need degraded performance…
I… I already have that. What’s next?

And rocks

Normally degraded performance means that things happen too slowly, not too quickly.
Even funnier if it turns out the AI “learning” caused a DDOS attack.
Reddit’s AI has a transcendental moment of clarity and puts itself in a DDOS loop.
Would it produce better or worse output compared to training on the AI that writes reddit?
Channeling FlyingSquid, wherever they are at the moment.
Pardon my lack of concern
Damnit, it’s back. It was good while it lasted.
I guess they replaced their backend potato.

Reddit, about yesterday, started to implement a change…
They have the old Reddit interface and then the one that replaced it (“new Reddit”) and the current interface you see on Reddit replaced that. People don’t like the most recent interface iteration but had the option to go to “new Reddit” or “old Reddit” by vising the appropriate links.
Notably, each newer interface seems to be more stressful for the servers to run. Still, likely a decent amount of folks don’t like the newest interface so likely the load balances out.
Yesterday though, they “pulled the lever” and “new Reddit” is no more. (This was announced about a month ago at this link but they only got around to doing it yesterday.) Those people trying to access “new Reddit” are redirected to the latest interface. You have the option to use the oldest Reddit interface or the newest one but not the “new Reddit” one. Since the latest interface seemed to use the most server resources before, it is interesting how Reddit seemed to have their severs overloaded a bit when they made the switchover.
On Reddit, people have been upset in /r/help that this has happened but Reddit will likely continue on with this change anyway. Old Reddit will continue to be supported (at least for now anyway).

Sucks to suck 😝
Oh no!
…anyway.
Exactly my thoughts.
lemmy.world crashing in 3, 2…
Reminds me of the good old days.
Someone spilled coffee on their server. /s

WHEN
Downtime bananas.
Soon lemmy.ml will spike again during this outage
Do you really think all the tankies haven’t already left?
More than tankies but I was slightly hopeful
I guess I was also being hopeful that there where any humans left to even ask the question xD
Oh no, how will the bots function without reddit? Where are the outrage trolls going to scream into the void?
Oh well, not my dumpster fire, not my problem. It is quite funny though.
Cool. Also in important news, I’m scratching my ass.
More at 10.
It’s 10p EST and I’m still waiting for more 😔
You’re not the only one. I watched the local news hoping to get an update on this.
It’s all about the anticip…
… ation.
I like you.
I eat you last.
It’s all I ask.
