Still having massive federation issues despite the upgrade? in c/support@lemmy.world

I appreciate the concern, but we are doing this because we enjoy doing it and our skill sets allow us to contribute. These are exciting times, even with the issues we are working through :) No worries.

Still having massive federation issues despite the upgrade? in c/support@lemmy.world

[-] 00Lemming@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

FYI, this is due to a confluence of issues.

We are the largest instance with the highest active user count - and by a good margin.
We are dealing with a premature software base that was not designed to handle this load. For example, the way the ActivityPub Federation queues are handled are not conducive to high volume requests. Failed messages stay in queue for 60 seconds before they retry once, and if that attempt fails it sits in queue for one hour before attempting to retry. These queued messages sit in memory the whole time. It's not great, and there isn't much we can currently do to change this, other than to manually defederate from 'dead' servers in order to drop the number of items stuck in queue that are never going to get a response. Not an elegant solution by any means, and one we will go back and address when future tools are in place, but we have seen significant improvement because of this.
We have attempted contacting Lemmy devs for some insight/assistance with this, but have not heard back yet, at this time. Much of this is in their hands.
We were able to confirm receipt of our federation messages (from lemmy.world) to other instance admins instances at lemm.ee and discuss.as200950.com. As such we do know that federation is working at least to some degree, but it is obviously still in need of some work. As mentioned above, we have reached out to the Lemmy devs, who are instance owners of Lemmy.ml, to collaborate. I cannot confirm if they are getting our federation at this time. Hopefully in coming Lemmy releases this becomes easier to analyze without needing direct server access to both instances servers.

As you can see, we are trying to juggle several different parameters here to try and provide the best experience we can, with the tools we have at our disposal. You may consider raising an issue on their GitHub about this to try to get more visibility to them from affected users.

Why do I get "Subscribe Pending" on most communities? in c/support@lemmy.world

[-] 00Lemming@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just to be clear, are you saying that when you go to your profile page, the sublemmys that you have 'subscription pending' for do not show up there??

The other thing to note with this bug, at least in my experience and what I have seen, even if it shows pending it will still show up in your 'Subscribed' feed. So while visually it is inaccurate, it seems to actually function properly. To be seen if the upgrade to 0.18.1 has any effect.

Just so you know this has been reported and is a known issue (happens to me on the browser as well). Presumably, it is due to Lemmy’s use of websockets for API requests, which has its issues for this particular application.

This has been addressed in version 0.18.0 as, among quite a few other changes, an HTTP API is now in place for API requests which will (should) resolve this issue.

Lemmy.world is currently on back end version 0.17.4 which still uses websockets. You can see this at the bottom of every page. The reason for this is that version 18 removed the ability to use Captcha for account registration. Given the size of the instance and its rapidly growing user base, and the fact that we are still accepting registrations, we simply must have the ability to leverage Captchas to mitigate the bot spam signups, which has been an issue.

We have tested the 0.18.1rc build (non-official release) in order to try and get this new functionality as soon as possible, but as you can see in the post 18.1 needs some time to bake still - at least for large instances.

This is definitely being discussed among the admin/mod team and we will be upgrading as soon as we realistically can while providing a stable - usable - experience.

What's the best way to find new Lemmy instances/communities? in c/support@lemmy.world

[-] 00Lemming@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The Lemmyverse site is good. There is also https://browse.feddit.de which I have used to find a few smaller communities from instances that don't show up on my own home instance (Lemmy.world). Then I can search the specific community name on lemmy.world which makes it visible for anyone else on my instance to find going forward from the main community search.

How do external drives behave in relation to internal NAS storage/management? (www.synology.com)

Not sure the best place to ask this.

I have a DS420J 4 bay NAS, primarily used for my Plex server and data backups (among a few other things). I currently have 8x6x6 TB Iron Wolf NAS drives in a single volume with SRH and an extra 1 TB SSD JBOD. I have my Plex app and metadata stored on the SSD due to the increased performance I have seen vs. having it installed on the large pool (7200 RPM cap). I am sitting at about 85% used storage of my available 10.8 TB on the primary volume. As such, I am pre-planning my next storage upgrade and am curious about my options while staying with the current hardware. The future plan will be a NAS upgrade, but this little beast has been chugging along so perfectly I want to push it as far as I can.

If I was to remove the 1 TB drive and replace it with another 8 TB Iron Wolf, I would jump to 20 TB available storage. https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator?hdds=6%20TB%7C6%20TB%7C8%20TB%7C8%20TB This increase would last me for quite some time ahead of a full NAS upgrade with more bays. In order to do this, I would obviously need to remove the 1 TB SSD to be replaced by the new drive. I have na external enclosure for this drive that can connect over USB to the NAS.

My question: I am finding somewhat conflicting information on how external drives are intended to be used/what their capabilities are when connected to the USB 3.2 port. It seems the intended functionality for backups (which makes sense). Am I able to utilize a USB connected drive and have it function in a similar manner to it being internal? Are you able to install apps from the Package Center to an external drive? Create volumes? I assume there will be some performance degradation due to the translation from SATA to USB, then back to SATA, but I anticipate the SSD will still perform better than adding the app back to the main pool. I just don’t know if I am potentially missing something with my evaluation. Those that have more experience with USB connected drive with their NAS, I would love to hear your experience. Thanks!

Hey! I appreciate your posts! Let’s say I want to get into DND, Are there any resources for such a person to peruse? It’s a big game after all.
