Can't post images because they're too big so here's imgur: https://imgur.com/a/Fm52ZTB

Edit: lemmy.ml and lemmy.world seem to have come back, I'm just a bit worried that it's another one of those hacks.

Edit 2: Most of those I've tried came back. reddthat.com and sh.itjust.works seems to still be down

I run my own single user instance, and it was down as well. Not sure why someone would target a single user instance. Not ruling it out, but it seems unlikely.

All instances using federation are publicly visible and it's simple to script attacking all of us.

However it's even easier to just attack Lemmy.world since almost everyone is there and it will have maximum disruption on everyone. People have centralized on one server. :)

But it's just some denial of service attacks right now. Eventually they probably get tired of it too. There is no point to it really.

I’m thinking about doing this for making my main account, since I never look at my local feed anyway.

How’s the experience? And do you know of a good starting point?

[–] Linuturk@lemmy.onitato.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The experience is pretty good except for discoverability of new communities. My Subscribed and All feeds are the same. I started with the official local development docker-compose file and massaged it into place for my setup.

Ah, yeah that could be problematic. Maybe I’ll hold off until accounts can be migrated, and port this one over to expand the content. Start subbing to everything I even tangentially like 😅. Tho maybe they will fix the discoverability issue - sounds like it happens kinda a lot.

Thanks for replying!
