Just for clarity: it’s not viewable through the API. As others have said, you need to spin up an instance. In contrast to the API, this means it’s not free (due to server hosting and domain name costs), and it’s not necessarily easy (for the non-techies).
I tend to use photon.lemmy.world, but it’d be really cool if I could log in to lemmy.world using tesseract. It’s a fork of Photon - so I imagine it also has feature-parity with the official UI - but it’s “designed for media-rich feeds and content”. It’s what they use at dubvee, and db0 also provides it as an alternative
I don’t use the default one because it gets confused when lemmy decides to bring a gif in from an external site, and then convert it to a mp4 (it’s a pretty hit-and-miss affair in the Gifs Community), though I realise it’s ultimately lemmy itself that’s causing the problem.
I’ve not had any luck joining any of these rooms. I click the link, continue with Element (the web app), I can see that I’m logged in and can access a room I’ve already joined (for moderating another community), but for these rooms, I’m just getting:
#lwgeneral:h-y-p-e-r.space is not accessible at this time.
Try again later, or ask a room or space admin to check if you have access.
M_UNKNOWN was returned while trying to access the room or space.
If you think you’re seeing this message in error, please submit a bug report.
EDIT: the updated links work for me now!
They’ve already replied with the reasons, but - for future reference - if you want to see specifics of things like this, a censure is often posted to https://fediseer.com. .world’s censure of .nl is here
Hi
Pls check how much traffic you’re now sending out for every activity - my server is recording that everything from lemmy.world is being 4 times (e.g. 1 Upvote is sent 4 times to every instance that has a subscriber. Those instances will reject 3 of them for being dupes, but it’s still a lot to be sending out).
lemmy.ca had a problem where they were sending everything 3 times, and it was because they were running 3 containers, and they all had the same index number, so maybe it’s that.
Thanks.
