Do you mean in the very short term, or over the last few days or weeks?
At the moment It looks like programming.dev is suddenly falling behind reddthat.com. It’s currently ~40 minutes behind and getting worse. @snowe@programming.dev @Ategon@programming.dev, FYI.
I’m not savvy enough to know what causes this, but it has happened before between instances. @MrKaplan@lemmy.world might have some insight.
“To The Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!” he added on Truth Social.
Fun fact #1: The department of energy does not control oil drilling. Sorry Donald, they can’t unilaterally make it happen.
Fun fact #2: Not all oil is equal. Refineries are designed to process certain grades of oil into specific products, and different parts of the world have different grades. Refineries also often blend oils from different parts of the world to get the characteristics they need for their process.
Fun fact #3: Moving domestic petroleum products between the west coast and the rest of the US is an expensive pain in the ass. There is a distinct lack of pipelines, so you need to ship it through the Panama canal. But shipping is expensive thanks to the Jones Act. So California, Oregon, and Washington would get particularly screwed in a domestic-only oil market.
“Drill, baby, drill!” has always been an immensely stupid rallying cry, even if you don’t care about the environment.
If you like Photon, you might like Tesseract. It’s a Photon fork.

I’ll mention some dead projects, in case anyone gets an itch to pick them up…
lotide/hitide is a minimalist, text-only platform. It has been abandoned.

Sublinks was in the works, but it is on indefinite hiatus. As I understand it, the main dev became too busy IRL to continue work.

I assume it’s an intentional trade-off by the devs to reduce the storage burden. If each instance is a complete mirror of all federated instances then hosting becomes that much more expensive.
I have been looking for the same thing for years. I basically want the WTA Hike Finder but expanded worldwide, and with some map integration to show the routes visually instead of having to interpret the descriptions.
Free is good, of course. But I also have some gripes about how Band functions so I’m interested to see what else is out there. Thanks for the Campfire recommendation; I will check it out.
While not being exactly what you are proposing, you could consider mastodon.social and lemmy.world the de facto front page for each service. They are by far the largest and best-known instances in their respective networks. Many new users start at those instances, get their toes wet, and then branch out.
I’m not arguing that’s how the network should be structured, though.
Here are a few things off the top of my head.
Deleted accounts leave orphaned posts/comments, which still exist on the site but can be difficult for admins to find and remove: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5525
Private message reports don’t go to all the right people: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4436
We should be getting some vote analytics in the future, which will be great. Lemmy seems to have a significant number of vote manipulation accounts that only exist to upvote/downvote in unison, but they are currently hard to find. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5669
I really should open an issue to improve the reports queue. It’s tolerable if you mod an individual community or a smaller instance, but it is unusable as an admin on a really big instance like .world. There is no way to search or sort the reports. You can filter by posts or comments but then it only shows you 20 entries, which is a weird and unhelpful limitation. All reports have equal priority; there is no mechanism for users to flag reports that should be escalated to admins. And, if something is heavily reported, there is no way to batch resolve the reports after you address the issue.
This worked until my kids developed a tolerance for heat. They are adapting! It’s only a matter of time before they are completely resistant!
How so? Masked men grabbed Rumeysa Ozturk off the street, caught on camera and even questioned by passers by. I haven’t seen their identites released, and I don’t see how it will happen unless the federal government wants it to happen.

A third of eligible voters didn’t vote. The remaining people who did vote were almost evenly split. So, in rough numbers, 1/3rd of American voters put us all in this mess.
Wrong community?
Hey, no cutting in line. I was here first.
So anyway, I prefer a family within an hour or two of a ski area. It’s not a deal breaker, though. References available upon request.
Chin up, mate. Your ship will come in some day.
Whatever the issue was, it was short-lived. It’s now back to normal and only a few minutes behind.
