Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I'm also seeing this issue on the two instances you've mentioned. I'm not sure if it is just an overloaded issue, or if there's more fundamental issue with the way I'm setting things up. One way around it is if I see a comment I really want to interact out of my own instance, I can copy the link from the fediverse icon, and then search for it. Then the comment (along with its parents) will pop up on my instance eventually. Not idea, as I'd still have to venture out of my own instance to discover the said comment chain, but at least it provides a way to interact, for now.
I would just give it time. I think those instances have some scaling issues and things take time to sync.
Do you have other users on your instance?
I noticed it took a day or two to “catch up” as I added and federated with new communities on these instances.
Again, I haven’t really dug in. They have seemed okay (I do have accounts on those instances too). It seems once everything is “caught up” and it’s just incremental it goes smoother.
But are you seeing any resource constraints on your instance? Like cpu or ram?
All by myself. Plenty of room for activity. We'll see if it catches up or just end up creating a larger divergence! And yeah, I do have account on lemmy.world as well, so it's just extra song and dance for now.
Oh I see your account is only 14 hours old. Yeah I would give it another 24-36 hours to do pulls and look then.
Everytime I add a community I start with all the links and all have 0 comments. Then after a while they sync up. I used fediverse.net to just start pulling all sorts of communities. But at this point it seems okay. My instance has been up for a few days now.
New instances are popping up all over so those bigger ones have a lot of servers syncing with them.
Yeah, there are ways around the de-sync (albeit super manual) for now, so I’m just waiting and seeing for the time being :)
@freeman @chiisana how do you pull instances from fediverse.net?
I’m not sure what you mean by pull instances. I’m really brand spanking new at this. Sorry!
