Move to a new, smaller, instance. You can still use lemmy.world as though it was still running at full speed. You can still post to lemmy.world or other federated communities and you experience won’t be so painful.

Lemmy.world is experiencing an influx of Redditors and with us good Redditors come our awful trolls. Growth, along with DDoS attacks have plagued the site since I began using it.

For all the annoyance, a silver lining is that lemmy.world is testing lemmy at a relatively high scale lemmy doesn’t see anywhere else and so aiding in the development of the software and architectural guidelines for instance management.

If you want a fast, stable, and we'll funded instance, try some of the porn ones.

Honestly? That's great. It's stress-testing Lemmy and, to an extent, ActivityPub.

Growing pains. It's just gonna improve Lemmy in the long term.

If you don't like it, use another smaller instance like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee. You know, the entire point of decentralization.

Suffering from success.

Don't worry though they'll figure it out. The early days of Reddit were pretty unstable. Definitely sucks for now but it'll get better

Are you just going to make one of these every single time?

Ugh

"Ugh" what?

That's why I use lemm.ee

Dude just move to a small, updated instance with good uptime. I joined aussie.zone and its never down plus feels so much snappier.

Just in time for lemmy.fmhy.net to come back up

That’s why I joined my local “area of my country” instance. I just need to subscribe to all my communities here and I’ll be good. The app I use (Memmy) let’s you easily switch between profiles on any instance too.

I wanted to stay with World. But they are literally constantly having severe problems (errors, voting, comments). Gave them many chances. I'm sorry World, but I probably would abandon Lemmy if I had to stay, it's just not an enjoyable experience.

Maybe it's not even possible to keep a large (targeted) instance working with current limitations and tools? Hope they figure it out. I'm rooming with Stux at Geddit, he's cool. So many cats...

You can check lemmy.world's status page to see when it’s down.

Oh so that's why there seems to be less content in my feed than normal?

I moved to sopuli.xyz because of this. I can still subscribe to all the communities I like so no point in staying in an instance that's constantly down.

Yeah, pretty annoying. Probably update related but still…
