Should the instances that responded to you be refederrated? I’m pretty sure I saw some of them on lemmy.world’s block list. I think it would be sad for these small servers to not realize they are, in fact, not connected to the greater fediverse. On the other hand, if you’re an admin, and you don’t know what you’re doing to the point of not knowing your server was infected by hundreds of thousands of bots, maybe it’s too dangerous to refed.
Oh good to know. I guess I only really caught reddit downtimes in the past.
I like how it looks exactly like reddit’s status page, especially considering they just released old.lemmy.world.
The only person I met with that name, and only in small amounts, is Henrietta Lacks.
Consider undervolting (via Throttlestop or Intel XTU) to prolong your laptop’s longevity and possibly mildly increase its performance. For the same CPU workload, undervolting will reduce the amount of heat generation and therefore the temperature of the CPU, thereby decreasing the risk of hitting the CPU’s temperature throttling and risk of CPU damage.
There are ready guides on youtube and r/gaminglaptops sub, but I’ll leave reddit links out for now. Just search for your laptop model since the exact values will depend on the model and also on luck. If you’re lucky, you can undervolt a lot without causing instabilities.
Do the maneuver @Dadbod89@lemmy.world suggested.
Try Flonase. Helps a lot but takes 1-2 weeks to start to work.
See a doc if things persist.
I agree with you.
I think a lot of the value and entertainment of these text/story-based communities comes from seeing other commenters interact with the post and with each other.
Some of the bots are putting out too much primary content for the number of users in that community. I think they should limit the posts to 1-2/day so that viewers can get concentrated onto those posts and hopefully generate some comments. As the population grows, more posts can be done per day by the bot, or ideally, switch to actual people submitting posts.
I think while the general communities have made it, a lot of niche communities failed to attract enough population to keep on generating more content. As an example, just search for the “Imaginary” series of landscape art communities on the Fediverse (eg. ImaginaryVistas). Many of them don’t have any recent posts or 1 post per days or weeks. That’s not enough to keep people invested. Even the largest digital art community is still mostly carried by 1 person.
