I’ve been having a lot of lag on lemmy.world lately, moreso during certain times of the day. I’m not sure if this is because of geographic location or just burden on the server.
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list shows a list of all servers and their uptime but does not give how long a server has been online. Uptime is a somewhat unreliable measure of reliability because they might have only been online for a day.
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/map gives the closest server but most local servers have only 1-4 users and there is no way to gauge whether those servers are reliable or trustworthy.
Is there a tool to find the closest server with a reliable uptime over a period of months with at least >100 users?
lol, it’s actually down right now. https://web.archive.org/web/20231118221157/https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/lemmy.sdf.org.html
Says it’s been down for a week
They updated to 19.0-rc5 some days ago. Might have been accidentally and now it messed up their database or something, idk
Before that I didn’t have a single moment where I couldn’t browse Lemmy via their instance
how do you find out where they are geographically located? I see they’re in the US from the fediverse.observer list but it doesn’t explain what state they’re in. The server could still be 3000 miles away depending on what state it is.
