Nah. I know my stuff. This is for sure the Revolution.
Canada here. Basically, everything I learned is from parodies. American history is not a big deal in K-12 curriculum. If i had to write a 2 paragraph essay to save my life:
It was a period in history where guns were loaded one ball at a time by stuffing it down the barrel with a stick. Wealthy white people who profited off slavery all lived in the southern states for some reason. This group started to hear that other people in the rest of the (northern) states were starting to talk about making slavery illegal. To protect their interests they formed a separate government, formed an army and attempted to overtake and rule all of the states.
Their army wore red, and the north's defending army wore blue. They shot at each other with cannons for a few years and many people died, mostly from shitty health-care and infections rather than acute death. The north won and now lots of people who were never in the war, pretend to have the war again to remind them to never have a civil war.
I'd say the impact was that slavery was abolished, but it was abolished in many other countries without a civil war so I guess the impact was a lot of parody material for pop culture.
And that is all I know about Paul Revere and the American Revolution.

Shocking research by Statistics Canada uncovers surprising economics discovery: people with lots of money lend it to people with less for more than it's worth: rich people get richer, and poor people get poorer!
"We were so focused on how fast people got sucked dry, we never stopped to realize why," said Mike Hunt, an assistant-upper-middle-deputy-manager at Statistics Canada.
Mike goes on to say: "We've been struggling to classify "monetary gains," for the lower class. We decided that getting two-for-one coupons, or winning a toonie from a scratcher counts. That way we can say for sure everyone is gaining!"

Commendable that you want to help, but the software needs to handle dead installations as there is no possible way to enforce people to decommission. :) Might be worth dropping just to help the use case of how this gets handled. I feel like you did everything you could.
Keep in mind this is a one hour snapshot. I am working on a historical rating as well to give a better indication of overall long term stability.
Fixed! The regex was not getting content from < 0.18.0 instances. Thanks!
EDIT: I am wrong, it was something else in feddit.de's messages I THOUGHT was a version thing, but must be a localization thing. A string in the JSON was breaking some regex. Regardless.. fixed.
I am actually working on that! Stay tuned. Like days though, don't get too excited. :)
No beans for beehaw.org :(

They do. They are bloody expensive to get from Japan to NA though. Don't skimp. Toto or bust.
What instance is used as a reference for the delay? One you self-host (lemmy.management)?
Yes. lemmy.management. It is purposefully updating subscribed communities to as many as possible (via automation.) This doesn't correct for network lag, but the idea was to capture the "federation" lag. There's no code I'm aware of that allows admins to prioritize outbound federation traffic. I could be wrong though.
Sooo … what’s the deal with lemmy.ml … that seems to have gone beyond lag and is basically falling over … seems like the devs have neglected their own instance’s health?
I just collect the data.
What’s that Redash? Is it a plotly thing or some other product that just uses their graphing library? How have you found it?
https://redash.io I don't remember how I found it. Probably an "awesome" list on github.
I didn't even load it on mobile. I will check it out tonight and maybe just create a separate "mobile friendly" dashboard.
That's fair. Also, it seems like the more narrow the focus of a community the better, since they are together for a common interest. Expecting a news aggregator to not be political is a bit of a pipe dream. :) I need more coffee.
It's just a repeating cycle. Anyone making edgy commentary about decentralization was not around in the 90s. We think the shittification was caused by corporations, but corporations are just out to make money. Since we all need our 401k's to grow, I find it insane more people don't understand we're all just playing ourselves.
The real problem going forward is how EVERY FUCKING LITTLE THING becomes a political minefield; totally devoid of any real, meaningful contribution to humanity.
Christ, I honestly can't keep up anymore. What is a tankie? Am I woke enough? Should I like soy? Can I eat meat? Are electric cars bad?
I care deeply about other people and who they are as individuals, but I am starting to lose faith in our ability to create communities that can do anything but fight with eachother about what's best for everyone.
I’d like to see or make a tool that measures “federation” quality.
Lots of servers are locally responsive, but lag or completely fail posting to remote servers or accepting remote requests.
How can i participate in a conversation when half of the instances are hours behind or may not get my comments at all :(
This seems to be a combination of software and load and it is very insidious because it doesn’t affect local functionality so admins that don’t care or check think their communities are just fine.
It’s not great but it does have the data.

Isn’t it only if you have something configured in display name?
Correct. All also includes communities fetched but not subscribed to, however these are more like stubs. They are in your database but not being updated with activity since no one is subscribed. At least that’s my understanding.
