It’s also quite pertinent given the prevalence of feddit.(country code) instances of Lemmy, eg feddit.uk, feddit.de etc.

Those are fediverse toilets. If you shit in one of them it will be available in the other one too.

This is the way.

I can’t have at it, that’s the problem, that’s what I’m looking for help with. If I try to sign up the progress spinner never stops and there are errors about closed websockets in my browser developer console. That’s what I’m seeking help on.

(in terms of propagation, there are ancient posts in c/cricket@lemmy.ml that I can see via lemmy.world but not on my “home” instance of feddit.uk. In fact on feddit.uk c/cricket@lemmy.ml appears entirely empty and has for several days).

Like I said, I’m already on a different instance (feddit.uk) but the instance I’m on seems a bit flaky. There are communities on other instances that don’t show any content, whereas they do on lemmy.world. I’d heard that lemmy.world was handling the influx of new users quite well in comparison, so thought I’d try to switch.

I’m a bit more cynical, given the circumstances. When I read Red Reader was getting an exception I checked it out and, as a general purpose Reddit app for Android, I found it clunky in comparison to apps like Infinity and Boost. I wonder if that was the actual rationale, i.e. choose an app that’s not as appealing an alternative to the official app so that you can cite it as justification that you are listening to app developers who “do it right”.

Any time I try to go the Kbin web site as a regular end user, it routes through a Cloudflare “are you human?” Captcha. I wonder if this is causing the issue. If I try a similar URL on my instance I get “404: couldn’t find community”, but if my instance is getting the same Cloudflare nonsense back, it would probably explain it.
