UPDATE 2 WEEKS LATER:
I'm moving my account to another instance. What instance? I don't know yet, it might take some time to research the most fitting server for me. If lemm.ee can't defederate from incel, nazi and totally radicalized instances then I'm gone.
—B-b-but you can block them yourself!!1!1
Yes. However I have to look at this shit everytime I enter Lemmy and new subs grow like mushrooms after the rain. I'm tired of seeing recycled low quality jpeg propaganda memes, lemmy should not even be political at all, but people will fuck up everything. I advise everyone who made an account here by mistake to follow my path. Admin won't step down to satisfy one person. From what I've seen lemme.ee is closely related to hexbear (based on activity), even if it's not said anywhere. If you're a person that emigrated from reddit, then emigrating from this shithole will be less hustle than you think. I'm just sad it took me so much time to realize what I had dived into. I'll be under a new username to cut all my ties with lemme.ee. Goodbye.
OG Post:
It's over. You broke the federation.
It's currently one of the worst servers out there. Insane login times, viewing profile and inbox takes forever, other users don't see your comments, still can't share images in comments while other servers can, and has many toxic instances that have not been defederated yet (why?).
One of the things I noticed when I was new is how people recommended joining low populated servers to help with fediverse diversity. Lemmy.world was bursting and it made sense at that time, but now I changed my mind. It's unreliable as fuck. You see all this shit happening to lemm.ee but not other servers. I would never recommend condemning your username by joining this shithole. It's my first post and probably the last one. Idk, go rollback to version 0.1 maybe it was the only one working fine. Lemm.ee has fallen, but I guess that's what happens when your server is a raspberry pi of some underage kid. Raise the flag, shit server claims another soul.
Is it just me that has had zero problems? I can't say I even understand half of what you're talking about here.
I run a community here and I've had essentially 0 issues that weren't addressed appropriately quickly by the admin team.
Have fun elsewhere.
Perhaps you missed what happened during the last weeks. Updating lemmee to 0.19v caused all variations of fuckery and broke the instancing inside out. But hohoho 🎅 devs are sleeping because it's holidays.
The devs run it on lemmy.ml for a while and said it was ok to update. You cannot blame lemm.ee for trusting that. These things are complex and things get missed. You'd probably know that if you contributed to open source, rather than consume and complain when it isn't perfect. Keep leeching elsewhere.
Was testing on production ever a good idea?
You always do some testing in production. You can do unit testing, integration testing, and even some load testing before deployment, but you will always find bugs once it’s rolled out to production with a bunch of variables you cannot control and couldn’t have possibly accounted for. That’s why most software has point releases, it’s inevitable on any marginally complex software.
