    I wonder if the caching is not aggressive enough or something.

    I had a PeerTube video from my instance on the HN FrontPage last week and the load was minimally higher compared to before or after.

    I had several of my blogposts on HN FrontPage in the past. The first time it happened it brought my poor VPS to the Knies, but I learned from it and cached pages with nginx for some minutes and since then never had any problems. Just invalidate the cache when there are changes.

      That’s not a “post from feddit.org,” that’s a “post by a feddit.org user on a lemmy.ml community.” It may be DDOSing feddit.org because that server’s view of it is the link that happened to go viral, but there’s no reason folks outside Lemmy couldn’t view it on the server it’s actually posted on, or some other third node like lemmy.world or whatever.

        The original link ap_id corresponds to the author’s instance.

        [email protected] posts to [email protected]. The path the post will take is this:

        User -> Author’s instance -> Community’s instance -> Notified to all other instances subscribed, to download from author’s instance.

        As for your other point, there is no good universal Lemmy linking thing for posts. communities and users have names that work on any instance, but there’s no similar unique identifier for posts.

      I hate that it needs repeatedly saying, but its not. Its just based in Germany which has very draconian speech laws relating to Israel and the admins don’t want to be arrested

        Can confirm that Germany is cucked by fascists and only getting worse. AfD is on the rise and doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

        Move the server. Easy improvement over supporting genocide. They won’t tho.

          Right… Why should non Germans have to suffer shit German laws when they are trying to have an open discussion about a genocide.

          Entire premise of their argument is idiotic.

          Sorry no offense but thats stupid.

          Oh Yeah Lets just move our whole infrastructure to another Server in a different Country with different laws and jurisdictions so people can hate on israel!

          Bro israel aint the focal Point in their life 🥀

        Germany is a Zionist country that hosts Zionists servers.

        People are best to avoid both if genocide is a deal breaker for them.

      Is that true though? Is it really a Zionist server?

      There are a lot of people who vaguely lean pro-Israel (but may be revaluating their position in light of recent news), who cannot be called Zionist.

      I just think words matter and one shouldn’t debase the meaning of the world Zionists.

        There are two mega threads on Ye power tripping bastards community.

        You can review this discussion for yourself.

        My conclusion is that they used the law to hide behind. Sure some of the offending content should be removed per German law but there is a lot more censorship that happens on there to ensure that zio view points are validated and genocide is white washed.

        A lot of people who discussed the censorship outside of feddit.Org got banned on it despite never posting there.

        Genocide agenda will not be questioned ✊

          Unless these are new threads, I believe I’ve read through them.

          I am not convinced they are Zionist or whitewashing Israeli genocide (in the manner of tankie degenerates).

          I genuinely believe that it benefits no one to casually label people zionists.

          I will give you an example from my native country, Ukraine. After Hamas went on their stupid rampage, a lot of Ukrainians supported Israel (I don’t understand this since the Israeli government is largely pro-russian). People even equated Hamas with the russians (e.g. mass organized killings of civilians).

          That being said, once they saw what Israel did in Gaza, many (not all) started taking a more critical look at their support for Israel.

          I am just saying, it’s not good to label people when their views can be flexible and are sometimes driven by ignorance.

            I didn’t label the “people”

            I labeled the server aka “moderators” and owners who issued intellectually incongruent statements to justify their censorship and other unsavory behaviour.

              Fair point.

              I still don’t think the Feddit administration (in the broad sense of the word) is Zionist, but I will admit that I could be wrong.

              For what it’s worth I’ve always leaned on the side of the Palestinians, even before the russians invaded in 2014. I just think some caution is needed with using the term Zionist (especially when there is a solid chance of changing their views).

                I will be honest, I didn’t realize plight of Palestinians until after Gaza genocide started.

                The two sides propaganda and broad support across western regimes works well to keep narratives going.

                I don’t see how the server admins are not zionists at this point but that’s jist t opinion.

                The whole point of fedi is to test opinions in public discourse.

                People should make up their own minds.

      That was how the Internet worked back in the day. Site reliability for small sites was shit and going viral would routinely pull a smaller site down.
