Comment

Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy.

Content loads just as fast on small subs as on large subs. Not so for instances. I think centralization is inevitable unless federated data transfer gets faster.

It usually is federated quickly within Lemmy itself. I can’t speak for kbin but in my experience on SJW, I typically get all the content from remote instances in real time.

Here is a dashboard of synchronisation time between the most popular instances: …lem.rocks/…/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=…

As you can see, the only three instances synchronizing in more than 5 minutes are

reddthat, based in Australia

lemmy.nz, in New Zealand

aussie.zone, Australia too

feddit.ch, closing at the end of the month

For the 3 first instances, this is due to lag and centralization of communities on LW. Moving communities away from LW would actually help solving that issue (in parallel, Reddthat is planning to open an EU server to reduce the lag)

  Are these all lemmy clients?

    Lemmy instances. The graph shows how long it takes for content to go from one instance to another, which is a few minutes at most

    Gotcha. Makes me wish I had the technical know how to spin up my own instance. Those really are like subreddits then.

  Huh, that’s too bad about feddit.ch, at least they have a good alternative in feddit.de I suppose.
  
  Good info btw 👌
