from what I heard, it won’t me easy, but it would be one real stress test for federation. hopefully, we don’t have to block them out while they’re migrating. I wonder if perhaps it would be better for them to just start over with a clean slate.

@cendawanita not all is well with firefish.
I really hope we do not see a repeat of that phoenix ➡️ firebird ➡️ firefox saga that mozilla had.
wow! the fediverse is so dahsyat la. I posted something in !cafe from my calckey account to test if cross posting works.
my original intention was for you all to see it, but within half an hour, it has already collected 10 comments from the rest of the lemmyverse!
try clearing cookies (if you don’t want to be logged out everywhere, do it only for this site) because there was a lemmy cookie bug that was fixed last week, and old cookies carried over from before the fix could cause such problems
today’s theme for me is alt frontends and fediverse software:
>You can build your own search engine???
do you remember google desktop search?
before https became so ubiquitous, there were also proxy servers that you could run to index the websites you visited on the browser.
hi, welcome to our humble community.
just curious, how did you find my post? was it through the lemmy search engine?
looks like today’s theme for me is search engines, already found:
>If a server moved their domain they had to have a way to broadcast the name change to all the other instances.
even if lemmy had a way to do this, doing it for all the users at lemmy.ml would create a large load of federated network traffic between instances, and at the level of a single instance it would cause a lot of database changes (I’ve heard that the sql schema for lemmy isn’t very optimized).
also, as activitypub doesn’t prioritize synchronization (unlike git and matrix), there could be a lot of desynchronized state, with the name change of users reaching some instance but not others.
it would be interesting if lemmy.ml really went the clean slate way (and I think the original intention of the devs in running that instance was just to test their code, not to have it become a “flagship” instance), it would sure showcase a valuable lesson in the fediverse…that you shouldn’t rely too much on big instances (there is no huge facebook/twitter/reddit-like thing here).
