When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status (sopuli.xyz)

Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.

I need another instance so I can lurk when this happens.

If it's just for lurking, look for a small one to help spread the load.

Try the one I'm on if your into sci-fi or fantasy

+1 to this. Imho it's not good for lemmy as a whole if people are concentrated on a few large instances. Any time one of those major instances experience issues, the effect is going be major.

Hey, good to see you here! I always like your posts on !fantasy@sffa.community

I'm mostly in the Cosmere communities, I need to read more books before I can contribute elsewhere!

Life before Death, Radiant.

Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.

I decided to make on on Lemm.ee. Seems pretty cool!

[–] OverfedRaccoon@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why I created this lemm.ee account. It seemed silly just waiting for lemmy.world to come back up all the time. That's the beauty of the Fediverse. 😁

Performance is also overall better via other instances. We were hesitant about migrating /r/android given the LW downtimes but ended up doing so when Cole offered us a place on lemdro.id. Awesome uptime and great performance thus far with his scaling solution - keeps costs low as well.

The more decentralized, the better!

[–] OverfedRaccoon@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was definitely a controversial move. 😂

I think it's "easier" when you first come to Lemmy (or similar) to join the biggest server with all the communities. Being able to interact with communities everywhere, despite where your home instance is, takes some time to conceptualize. I actually think Lemmy has been easier to understand with that than, say, Mastodon.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

Ideally this will be addressed by improved community discovery functionality in the apps and Lemmy-UI so folks don't need to really think about it.

I agree Lemmy is easier than Mastodon.
