Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Hey guys, I just made an account here after hearing that making an account on the lemmy instance nearer your location would improve loading times. It is true loading speeds are great but I am seeing only few of the communities from other instances. For example I can't find the [email protected] over here on monyet.cc Why is that so?

It's available via this link.

The federation is quite wonky so you ought to try typing the whole url in the search bar, and try it a few times. First time i do this i tried searching for woodworking on lemmy world, have to try refreshing a few times before it connect.

Iirc someone mentioned that they have to copy the other instance into this server so you could visit it, maybe that's the reason it couldn't connect because it hasn't done copying yet. But once you done so, other people will have easier time visiting that community.

Yep it takes some time to copy it over.

yeah yesteday when I posted this comment I couldn't find it but now I do. Btw, are there any plans of upgrading money.cc to new lemmy version? I really like the new top sorting features of the new update and wish we have it here!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

there was a short discussion about the upgrade over here, and based on dcx's response the admins are planning to upgrade.

what's not decided yet is whether monyet.cc will wait for lemmy 0.18.1 to be officially released, or jump onto a release candidate like what lemmy.world and quite a number of other instances have done.

when searching for communities, watch out for the couldnt_find_object error, that can mean you've got the url syntax wrong, usually (also the error doesn't appear every time, and I've only seen it in the browser not apps, but when it does you should double check the url)
