I agree it’s too big
That’s the main issue. Its size creates 5-days delay with some instances
The issues have been here for months, are not going to be fixed any time soon as the latest Lemmy version still has issues like the pictures one: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5196
Some additional details:
Funny, you asked the same question in the thread from 6 months ago I linked in the other comment: https://lemmy.one/post/15445233
As I posted a few months ago, nobody is sure this instance is still moderated (https://lemmy.one/post/15445233)
You can try on their forums, but they never came back to me: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/we-re-giving-lemmy-a-try-welcome-to-privacyguides-lemmy-one-x-post/12734/7
Is it? That would make more sense. And then, the number of posts would go down if a very large instance would not report for a day (huge instance in this case, we are talking an instance with 2 millions posts out of 9)?
Oh, definitely
I still doubt we make 9 millions posts per day, there is another graph dedicated to comments, which has a much tinier drop on Thanksgiving: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Thank you for your service
There is https://lemmit.online, the issue is that most of the people block this bot as it blindly mirrors from Reddit, including the reposts and karma farming posts
That’s always good to hear.
I know we discussed this in the past already, but I really think !simracing@lemmy.ml would benefit to switch to another instance like lemmy.zip
You are by far the most regular poster there, maybe you can suggest the change?
To be, the issue was never that no major instance was USA-based, location of the servers doesn’t mean much nowadays. It was more about the fact that no large instance was geared towards USA citizens (a la Lemmy.ca, as we discussed), with a message such as “a USA instance, for USA citizens, but everyone is welcome”. That hypothetical server being hosted in Canada or Europe wouldn’t have that much of an impact, it was more to be able to have politics, finance, news discussions related to the USA in one place
Lemmy.World is still awaiting that upgrade to 0.19.6 to make use of that change in the codebase (release notes) (actually now 0.19.7 is already out too, having come less than a week after the former, and representing just a few bugfixes, release notes).
On the other hand, 0.19.7 still has a picture issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5196
One button to expand pictures similar to RES would be a big improvement
Built-in keyword filters are another one
And of course, multi-communities
Nice, let’s see how it goes.
As a side note, did it have to be on Lemmy.world? Aussie.zone is still 5 days behind, and with the issues that Lemmy 0.19.7 has with pictures, it does not seem like LW is going to update any time soon
I have a few communities I could post, but I would really prefer to have this community on another instance than LW. Lemm.ee or lemmy.zip as usual would be good candidates.
Edit: also, !lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com exists
Great update!
Long story short, there is no ideal generalist instance. If you open the top 20 instances (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/)
The next page has reddthat.com which is known to have federation issues with LW due to its location in Australia, and lemmy.today which does not defederate anyone
Thank you for that post on Discuss.online, let’s see what the admins say.
Between feddit.org and lemmy.ca, both have their issues indeed. Let’s hope Discuss.online can become “the one”, but it would be a bit ironic to recommend the one instance managed by people who created an alternative to Lemmy
Discuss.Online
They don’t block hexbear: https://discuss.online/instances
One other aspect against recommending lemmy.ca as the one recommended instance is that some Canadian users would prefer the instance to stay local: https://lemmy.ca/post/23600231
Which makes complete sense to be honest, speaking English does not mean that any English speaking user should come to their server while it’s specifically country-named and focused.
You did well, to be honest
