The funny thing about these DDos attacks on Lemmy World is that the hackers seem to forget that other instances exist. (lemmy.ml)

If they're trying to attack all of Lemmy, or the whole Fediverse, they're doing it wrong. lol

It's like obvious spam emails that put no effort into appearing legitimate. You have the spirit of it, but your heart is in the wrong place.

Yeah it would be really interesting if it was possible to have a merged community across several instances, like you sub to super community and it gets the information from one of the linked instances and when they're up they all keep synchronised.

If your instance went down you couldn't log on but if you could switch to another account on a different instance and access the same major communities - then when that instance comes back it catches up.

@Meowoem @kd637_mi Better yet...

Many Lemmy instances have communities on the same topic. For example, there's @[email protected] and @[email protected] and @[email protected] .

It's unnecessary duplication.

Having a Fediverse-wide !Technology community would avoid a lot of duplication.

Each Lemmy instance would then responsible for the posts of its users, and if an instance fails to moderate appropriately, it gets defederated.
