several people have confirmed it... I haven't seen them explain how exactly, but they seem convinced it is causing crashes so they blocked it. Lemmy is practically in the realm of voodoo PostgreSQL at this point. Since April or May it's been scaling very poorly as data gets added.

. However, I’m far from an expert,

Funny, because I'm a published author and expert on messaging systems... like Lemmy. Iv'e been building them since 1986 professionally.

There was a massive thread I posted dozens of comments on that came before today's pull request... I suggest you read that too.

Did you notice them even acknowledge server crashes are happening? Do you think developers ever suggest Memcache or Redis? Or discuss how Reddit solved their scaling in 2010 with PostgreSQL?

but perhaps they themselves felt attacked. I know that wasn’t your intention, but misunderstanding happen, especially over text.

I don't have any trouble understanding a bad SQL statement that has 14 JOINs and being told "JOIN is a distraction" after posting tons of examples.

Do we really need to spoon fed the stuff I did post?

Have you never seen social hazing in action? is it possible that I might be on to something going on psychologically besides my autism?

I can't believe anyone thinks a server should be crashing with 1 user on it.

Right now lemmy backend only supports a single 'subscribed' list, that would be like a music player only having a single playlist. I know people are using multiple logins just to have more flexibility in managing their lists.

If what you want to do is “copy all my communities from current instance to new instance”,

do you mean "copy my list of subscribed communities from one user login to another user login"?

There is a database field, and the SELECT queries exclude it just as they do if a community is blocked.

Recorded media, electronic media, is something the founding fathers never had to deal with.

There were pictures and diagrams of the virus. There was even art made in the virus’ likeness.

But there were people who couldn't seem to associate that it comes from friends and neighbors and that they could spread it, and seem to think it is all about a laboratory or 'people die in hospitals'.

There have been many claims that it’s a manmade bioweapon

Yes, exactly, in a laboratory, not in friends and neighbors who carry it around and spread it peer to peer.

The same thing with computer virus, many users I have had to remove virus on their computer claim it magically jumped on their computer. When computers were not even networked. You often had to go track down who they got a floppy disk from.

It’s because it isn’t fed facts really.

That's an interesting theory of why it works that way. Personally, I think rights usage, as in copyright, is a huge problem for OpenAI and Microsoft (Bing)... and they are trying to avoid paying money for the training material they use. And if they accurately quoted source material, they would run into expensive costs they are trying to avoid.

I don't think it is normal behavior for every new local user to be sent out to the current 1500+ lemmy instances out there.

I think the process of cloning your profile is more like: 1) you post or comment in a community, 2) that specific remote instance has to have a subscriber to that community, 3) once the post or comment comes to that specific remote instance, it will grab your person profile from the home-instance of you as a person.

If anyone knows otherwise, please chime in. I'll work on adding testing code to lemmy_server to document the behaviors and their evolution.

EDIT:

It doesn’t show my avatar, banner or bio.

So the profile is there, but not showing avatar. Ok, I saw this a couple months ago when I was creating accounts on various Lemmy servers for testing. It seems to me there is a high amount of replication delay in EDIT to the profile. Try editing your bio to ass a word or something, see if it goes out. I found it was taking days.

For posts, I have been working on it this week and found that it has been broken since June 23 commit. Posts don't even get removed on the home server with 0.18.2, a fix is already waiting for acceptance: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3613

As for comments, with 0.18.2 - it depends where the delete is done. If you are on a remote instance from the community, the comment will be deleted on 2 servers, but no more. The local instance you use will delete, as will the community home, but it seems to me there never was any code to distribute deletes to subscribed servers: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3625

It also impacts moderators removing posts and comments. As these internally are similar to deletes. !asklemmy@lemmy.ml is one of the communities that has a lot of moderator removals due to people confusing the purpose of it as a technical support forum, and you can see servers not getting the mod removals frequently.
