It also HIGHLY depends where you sign up. Over at feddit I couldn’t login to browser on PC anymore, couldn’t change my password, which in turn fucked up my login process overall (aka being stuck with Safari and the App I already was logged in), updates aren’t made and a lot of shit is blocked or defederated because of reasons (some even make a lot of sense, so no hard feelings here).
To be fair, it seems like some users on Lemmy.world had the same problems with logins last week. We are still in the try things out until something sticks phase.
I had a feeling some of the larger instances would be feeling the heat. Tried to pick something a little less mainline.
Just using Connect For Lemmy until Boost has a release out. Been nice and stable so far :)
This is why you shouldn't serve an open server from home. If you serve your feddit from your house, it's ok if it's for you and your kids. But if you add more than that, I wonder if it just stops. I serve my photo server for my personal use and it makes struggling noises when I look at the images. I picked a cheap 100 HP mini desktop to try this on so I'm not surprised. So imagine if 100 people wanted a 20MB image from the server's HDD.

Is there some sort of comment duping going on? This is the third time I've seen this sort of thing here on Lemmy.
When I use Jerboa or Connect, sometimes it'll say my comment failed to post when it actually worked. I'll then retry, which results in a double post.
Probably the same thing that happens with Reddit. A slow connection doesn’t get confirmation of posting as fast as it wants so it sends the post again.
