There's a significant amount of discussion surrounding the issue of lemmy.ml servers reaching their maximum capacity. As someone who already has an account on lemmy.ml, what actions can you take? (lemmy.ml)

Are the registry procedures causing the problem? Since most of my communities are on lemmy.ml, wouldn't I still be using lemmy.lm’s bandwidth? Or is it more crucial to ensure that the communities are distributed more evenly across different instances?

I think we want communities to spread out more than users.

Unfortunately if the users are there then they create the communities. So really people just need to spread out.

Migrating means losing a few things you've made or commented on. We're so young that shouldn't be such a big deal yet though.

This l load balancing will have to be automated sooner or later (sooner hopefully) because it's gonna be problematic...
