    Nocturne smelled so good today.

    Accidentally on theme for Atlas Shaves if I weren’t out!

    A little “fediverse drama” I thought I’d share – one of the three instances in the “tankie triad”, hexbear.net (the other two being lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml) didn’t renew their domain name, and it’s currently up for auction https://www.sav.com/auctions/details/7073489/hexbear.net.

    If they don’t get their domain back (the current bid is $1921 USD), they’ll have to either start from scratch with a new domain or attempt to update their config to match a new domain. Lemmy (and the fediverse at large) isn’t designed to handle domain changes, so it’ll be interesting to see if that even works.

    It couldn’t have happened to a better bunch! I have hexbear.net blocked, for context. I should add the other two to my block list, now that I think of it.

      As much as they suck, please don’t add “.ml” to the block list. I’m following a few instances registered on there for FOSS apps, back when it was one of the only servers open for registration.

          Ah sorry, I misunderstood that. 😅 I can definitely see the point in that then, even though I myself am politically left-leaning; it’s a quite harsh/borderline extremist userbase on those servers.

          (Side question: so it’s not a limitation of our server if some communities are displayed as “completely empty” despite having thousands of members and hundreds of posts?)

            If a single user of sub.wetshaving.social subscribes to a community, our instance will start pulling new content for that community. Old content isn’t really pulled, even if you subscribe.

            If nobody is subscribed, the first time someone views it it’ll probably show as empty. In the background it’s doing its best to gather some posts though, so refreshing after 10 seconds should show the most recent content.

              Thanks for the thorough explanation! It is really helpful. I always assumed it was due to the small size of our instance and that it might not be federated with every single server. What you wrote makes a lot more sense though!

                No problem. To expand on it a tiny bit, once a single user subscribes to a community, that community is then shown under “all”. “All” doesn’t show anything if nobody is subscribed.
