Burger

The network Burggit is on is experiencing performance issues. I'd encourage everyone to use shota.nu for right now if you can. I talked to the host about this and evidently it's an upstream issue with the datacenter.

The datacenter is refusing to help out with this and thinks everything is working fine so there's plans for migrating to a new datacenter that are underway sometime soon. So in the meantime, I'm afraid we need to just grin and bear it.

Lemmy errors out if the NFS mount is nonresponsive. It doesn't like not being able to access the huge swathe of pictures that are stored on the server. I've switched the NFS mount to TCP and have it retry the connection every second in an effort to mitigate the severe packet loss.

As I was composing this, the packet loss shot up to 90% so I don't think even that will help...

That's really all I can do for right now. I wish there was more that I could do to resolve this... 😔

After getting email working for sister site, https://kbin.burggit.moe, I quickly added it to here too. So password resets should be a thing here now. Kbin has a strict requirement for functioning email to verify users. There's no setting to toggle it off.

Now why am I messing around with Kbin? Well, it's because the future of Lemmy seems to be a bit uncertain, in my opinion. A lot of what people want isn't getting implemented and there's only so much that two main devs can do. So I've been messing around with Kbin in the meantime. I personally like how it can federate with more software, so we won't feel nearly as cut off from the fediverse as a whole vs the Lemmyverse. Signups are open, so you're free to play around with it on there too, if you wish. The same rules from here apply to there too, so keep that in mind.

I used this guide to learn how to use it: https://unofficial-kbin-guide.surge.sh/

Keep in mind this data is compared to https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=burggit.moe .

If a defederated instance is not on there then it'll show up here:

https://instances.burggit.moe/

All that's required is your browser of choice. This installs it as a progressive webapp.

The app will show up on your home screen. There's no way to add it to your app drawer sadly..

This will serve as a solution until the native apps are up to par. Or if other completed projects like RedReader decide to add Lemmy support.
