Specifically, I’m trying to post (an image) to boston@lemmy.ml from my account on kbin.social. The post shows up on kbin.social, but when I go to https://lemmy.ml/c/boston, it doesn’t seem to be there. Is there something special I need to do to ensure it’s viewable?
I can’t even register for lemmy or beehaw, I just get an endless loop on my attempts to sign up and the Lemmy.ml main page says their servers are overloaded.
Yeah as the flagship server and then the one recommended because the first got too full, those two might not be taking any more people for the time being. It’s one to keep the servers from being hugged to death and two hopefully to encourage others to spin up an instance and share the load/keep from centralizing in one place.
The natural response for most new users will be to join already large servers, which is exactly what we don’t want here. I learned that only recently (am a new user myself). Perhaps we should consider a line on the join-lemmy server list that says as much. Otherwise people will probably keep flooding the flagships and our rate of user growth will be severely hampered.
At least if we put a warning on the server list we’re at least filtering out users that don’t read.
I think lemmy.world is a better alternative anyway http://lemmy.world/post/37906
Well .world is also spinning when logging in now…
Same, I’ve been trying to register on Beehaw for more than a day. Glad to hear it’s not just me!
