The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

    It’s something to do with the web sockets implementation in 0.17 - when any person on your instance subscribes to a community, the community’s posts get added to the top of the web ui feed (possibly only if you’re on page 1?). so if I’m on page 1 of new and someone subscribes to a self-hosted community, I’ll be flooded with all the recent posts from that community as I’m scrolling through the feed.

    should be fixed in 0.18 since web sockets are removed there, and it’s also less of a deal on small instances as I said.
