This problem cannot happen to feddiverse? All nodes just queue sending to others?

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Literally thousands. That's all the humans that are left.
Funny how they have the audacity to complain about this place being botted when their bot problem is so, SO much worse.
Weird, it's been down for me since June of last year.
Reddit being down is how I found out about this place. This is literally my first post here. Thanks for sucking Reddit!
Yeah, after the API changes I created a lemmy account
Welcome, hope you like Linux memes…and beans.
And jeans!
Welcome! Watch out for Hexbear and the .ml instances, lots of disinformation and propaganda
Don't forget to apply to the No Poop Challenge!
Jokes aside, welcome. It's a bit messy but fun here. Make sure to take a look at how instances work, for most part you can ignore it but it does improve a lot your experience.
The top two mistakes I ever made on the Fediverse were unknowingly posting in Chapotraphouse in hexbear.net, and similarly in Lemmygrad.ml. Lemmy was practically unusable for me until I realized I could block those instances (and later lemmy.ml), which improved my happiness here by >99%, no joke.
Definitely it's worth paying attention to how instances work.
I'm the same way.. I don't like to block people because I want to know what everybody's saying... But I had to block hex bear. I normally just scroll all and they were everywhere all the time everyday and it just got too much.
I used to be quite proud of myself for never blocking anyone on Reddit, ever. Also I was a mod of a couple of gaming subs, so it wouldn't have worked in those anyway:-). But eventually I realized... it wasn't helping my state of mind, and rather it was affecting my irl relationships too. So I stepped back from modding, and finally blocked a particularly onerous troll account that I did not want to ban as a mod, but I sure did enjoy blocking him as a normal user.:-)
There's a saying about the only thing we must not tolerate is intolerance, and it doesn't quite go far enough imho as to state the consequences of failing to block intolerance - that they drag us down to become more like them:-(.
and finally blocked a particularly onerous troll account that I did not want to ban as a mod, but I sure did enjoy blocking him as a normal user.:-)
Just for curiosity, what was the troll doing?
I got a few of them from my Reddit mod times too, but since I was moderating smaller subs I had some freedom to tweak the rules towards their behaviour. (Because if I'm getting annoyed by the troll, odds are that other members are too.)
DRRRRRRRRRRR…

Welcome.
Commas, please!
And welcome :)
Somewhat tangential question: Why do so many sites have links to an external status monitoring site, but when the site is down and you go to check the status on that external status monitoring site, it says everything's fine? What's the point of the status site if it doesn't actually acknowledge that there's any sort of outage nor provide any info on it?
There are a few options off the top off my head
- the route/connection between the monitoring and you is OK; between the company and the monitoring is OK; but between you and the company is not OK -- this means that, so far as the monitoring can tell, the site is up.
- The status checks run at some interval and you're hitting it before that interval
- There's some threshold of errors that needs to happen first so tiny hiccups don't register as full-blown outages.
- the monitoring/metrics are poorly-designed
There are probably other cases. I don't know the architecture in this case, so I won't speculate at any others.
Nooooo, the poor 100 users and 2 billion bots!
I hope reddit dies
Eventually it will, these for-profit venture capitalist companies always eat themselves sooner or later, it's only a matter of time.
All corporate social media needs to die
Its working as intended for me. Hence, I’m here.
Who cares? Reddit has historically had a ton of outtages. Why even post this?
I don't get it either. I know a lot of lemmy users have an axe to grind with reddit, but treating every temporary outage like it's dead forever is just bizarre.
It's like honestly delusional behavior. Just a huge echo chamber repeating the same boring shit over and over. It's ironic because one of the reasons that people came to Lemmy was to eacape the Reddit circklejerk culture.
On top of it, this is fucking Daily Mail. They fell for a Daily Mail shock value story.
Yeah back when still used reddit I found myself scrolling through the comments of coping redditters on downdetector.com at least once every couple of months I swear, and I was never even that active
Reddit.com still works. Old.reddit.com does not.
Wonder if they've decided to finally do away with old reddit?
Edit: Old.reddit is back up for what it's worth.
new.reddit.com still works it seems. I think they're going to take Old.Reddit.com offline, the bastards. If they do that, I may end up back here at Lemmy fulltime. I know none of you want that!

Same issue here.
I think it's just a temporary issue, but I really will stop using Reddit if old.reddit.com goes down. There are niches that just aren't on here... but that UI.

Nice. ☺️
When my Lemmy instance is down (which is very rare, much more stable than Reddit), I just browse via a different instance!
Same here, lol
I was looking something up and of course Reddit came up but kept telling me “YOU BROKE REDDIT”.
What a shitty way to express an issue that your site is causing for users. Just go ahead and blame the users. That’s great for noobs who don’t know anything and will legitimately think they did something wrong on their end.

When it comes back up the remaining 5 actual human users will have had their accounts taken over to be used by more bots.
