    Suddenly my server started getting thousands of requests per minute and my varnish cache hit rate jumped to 99%. Thank god for varnish!

    Looks like the reddit blackout is #1 on the frontpage of hackernews, and this article is #2.

    I actually posted this article to hackernews, but I never got a single upvote. This isn’t my first time getting on the frontpage of hackernews, but it always happens when someone else reposts my link.

    Can anyone tell me how the fuck hackernews’ algorithm works to where I can’t ever get traction but someone else does after me?

      All I can say is that on “getting traction” I’ve only heard frustration, indifference or surprise. Something seems whack there.

    The only thing I need to improve this article is a short video demonstration showing how to find and add remote lemmy communities

    Are there any video producers on Lemmy that can help? You’ll easily get thousands unique views per day if you make a short “Guide to Lemmy” video :)

    I have a question that’s probably more specific to using Mlem to access Lemmy instances. How can I use that app to see notifications on Lemmy? I had a bunch of responses to a comment I made and had no idea because I was browsing on Mlem. No way to easily access my own posts/comments, nor see responses to those. I had to get into the web app to see that I had like 7 notifications.

    Still getting used to lemmy, was wondering if the sorting of comments was a thing you could change (permanently) user side or if it was server side? Also the auto-refreshing ‘home page’ that scoots everything down is bad on desktop. Not a whole lot of ‘googleable’ information yet on lemmy
