      Personally, egg. There are several ways on how you can enjoy the versatility of eggs; it can be steamed, fried, boiled, baked, or poached. The possibility is endless.

    I was talking to a friend about the recent issues Lemmy, and lemmy.world in particular is facing.

    I suggested that while the scaling issues on the Lemmy software itself is being worked upon, maybe more “bland” country/region instances where people can join is a viable solution…

    That I’d love to make an account on lemmy.sea (a Southeast Asian Lemmy instance)

      Same here.

      Why I created an account with the same username as on Reddit on lemm.ee: Because I can’t bear the slowness of lemmy.world.

      This is the same [email protected], just on lemm.ee.

        I think most people who held out until the last moment migrated to lemmy.world hence why it’s slow. Glad I’m on lemm.ee though, and that the admin is participative in contributing to the code. I trust the developers will be able to have a fix for these issues soon.

        Thanks for the tip. I’ve made my account on lemm.ee in just under 20 minutes. I hope, though, that this won’t be a pattern.

        Oh, this is the same @[email protected] you replied to.

        Anyways, I hope this won’t be a pattern where we look for “underpopulated” instances only to find it too crowded soon enough. I remember Lemmy.world being described as idyllic before the Reddit blackouts. That’s barely a month ago, lol!

      It would be interesting to have a .ph instance though. r/ph managed to reach 1M subscribers alone, and the offshoot ph subs could justify having a ph-centric instance.

        I flirted with this idea after reading up that Lemmy can run on a NAS. Good thing I didn’t, seeing how the weekend traffic brought Lemmy to its knees.

          A single stack might not be enough judging from lemmy.world’s upgrade woes. And in hindsight, you’ll also need a team of technically adept people aside from the admin/mod team. But it could also be interesting to have a single user instance for the sake of having a local copy of all the federated communities you subscribe to… as long as those instances would allow federation.

          Yeah. Hosting might be cheaper, but it would be a challenge to keep it sustainable if it’s going to operate through contributions. And yeah, it’s a pity that dot.ph has complete control over the .ph TLDs. But I suppose it doesn’t necessarily have to be a .ph, but any domain name that could cater to the ph crowd.

            how about gawa tayo sarili natin instance? will be financed through donations galing mismo satin. Pero is it possible ma-takedown un instance if ever na may topic na controversial for example sa itang politician? something like na-insulto xa sa post natin and pinagbantaan tayo?

              That’s another can of worms I’ve never thought about. Reddit used to have a warranty canary in their annual transparency report. It disappeared on the next year which indicated that foreign governments has started potential user information requests.

              In 2016, there was one preservation request from Philippines. But by last year, there were 8 content removal requests.

              So yeah, it’s possible that a PH-centric instance could be sanctioned by the government for content they may deem questionable.

                I didn’t even think about the possibility of government censorship, tbh. I was just thinking that creating a PH-centric instance might not be viable, but perhaps an instance to serve South-east Asia might be. I also briefly entertained the mental image of a very salty SEA-centric instance (like the infamous amount of salt present in SEA gaming servers), but that just intensifies the pun in my head.

                On a more serious note, yeah. It doesn’t have to be hosted here in the Philippines, maybe perhaps Singapore? That still faces the issues of skilled admins (to handle all the technical stuff associated in hosting an instance), as well as the associated expenses (and managing donations).

          They are known for buying unfinished Z-grade movies from 20th century and restore them with uncanny voice actors and “whatever everything left on the film reels.” You can compare it with Criterion Collection.

          They have some good shit collections, though.

    Someone brought up bailing from Twitter in the previous RD thread, and I quickly remembered how I would tweet just to keep myself entertained with the long queues. Wala pa ako mobile internet a long time ago so I’d have to send my tweets to a dedicated Globe number and they will post it. Parang old school telegram, lmao.

    This was a pic from one of my older tweets. Yung mala-isaw na pila ng jeeps sa North Avenue terminal.

    Edit: To be clear, this was a pic I took during that exact tweet. It wasn’t on the tweet itself since I obviously can’t upload images (nor did Twitter support it yet).

      I did this for Plurk back in the late 2000’s, but not that often since the amount of lag is just incredible (but defensively so). It’s a really nifty service back then though, posting through SMS, even if limited to just text.

    Since we’re on the topic of moving between instances, I recommend this tool to migrate your subscribed communities from one instance account to another: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

    For those using linux, btw, you probably don’t have install Python3, as it’s likely already installed in your system. If you already have git installed, it’s even easier.

    Here’s what I did:

    • Go to whatever subdirectory you want to install lemmy_migrate on. In my case, it’s ~/Projects.
    • Go to the repository (linked above) and go to Code and copy the Git HTTPS link
    • Type git clone <url> where url is the link you copied in the previous step
    • Press enter to start cloning the repository
    • Go to the repository directory and edit the config.ini file, putting in your account details.
    • When ready, type python3 ./lemmy_migrate.py -c config.ini
    • Press enter to start the ‘migration process’.
