Canvas is impressive

Finally rid of the yoke of lemmy.world, the real Lemmy emerges ... (from the left, of course)

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 3y (4 replies)

I was going to say, the numbers today look very strange (by that I mean low). Is .world being DDOSed again?

freamon@endlesstalk.org · 6 pts · 3y (2 replies)

There's nothing for lemmy.world because web crawlers like the one at lemmyverse.net (where the bot gets its data from) can't read it.

I think this is due to the 0.18.3 update, and how instances have/haven't implemented the changed to the API
This comment from marsara9@lemmy.world seemed relevant:

This is the same reason I had to turn off my search engines crawler.

There were changes made to the API to ignore any page > 99. So if you ask for page 100 or page 1_000_000_000 you get the first page again. This would cause my crawler to never end in fetching “new” posts.

lemm.ee on the other hand made a similar change but anything over 99 returns an empty response. lemm.ee also flat out ignores sort=Old, always returning an empty array.

Both of these servers did it for I assume the same reason. Using a high page number significantly increases the response time. It used to be (before they blocked pages over 99) that responses could take over 8-10 seconds! But asking for a low page number would return in 300ms or less. So because it’s a lot harder to optimize the existing queries, and maybe not possible, for now the problematic APIs were just disabled.

Ah that makes sense! I hope the devs can figure it out soon, both the Trending Communities bot and search-lemmy are great services.

Blaze@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 3y

Interesting, thanks!

They were a few hours ago. I posted about it in !fediverse@lemmy.world

gabe@literature.cafe · 1 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Wait... what? why is my meta community on here? LMAO

Madbrad200@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

With lemmy.world having issues, they've restricted their API usage to services such as Lemmyverse (which this bot sources its data from). This means that it can't really accurately reflect changes for lemmy.world communities, which in-turn means the bot is only going to pick up on changes from communties that aren't hosted on lemmy.world. Note the low %'s, these likely aren't actually the highest movers.

Best list with lots of different interesting communities.
