The admins on many instances already went through an upgrade cycle about two weeks ago to account for the first influx of ex-redditors.
Some of them may already be at their maximum ability/affordability.
I think others in the thread are correct that moving to different instances will probably help reduce some of the overhead that's slowing things down for many.
I can't post or comment anything on lemmy.world this morning.
More people need to learn what federation means instead of just saying “oh resdit2.0” and signing up for the flagship server.

*Failure to post. May be risking double-post. I guess lemmy.ml is struggling too. Lol
Well, don't flock to the same servers all the time. Check out join-lemmy.org or one of the other instance lists. My instance (social.fossware.space) still has plenty of space. 😅
I remember when I joined Reddit during the great Digg migration. Lemmy is handling this way better than Reddit handled that, so... Score.
The software industry has gotten so much better at designing and operating web apps that can scale quickly.
This is my fetish 😅
Apparantly, I don't exist on some instances. And a comment I submitted earlier didn't federate. Does anyone see this comment?
No? :)
What was that?! Must have been the wind...
I can see your comment (lemmy.world). Might be a bug, or the influx of new users causing lags in some instances.
I can feel the choking🥴
Well that's the reason I didn't create a lemmy account on popular instances 😆
This is where the Fediverse gets tested. Without a big corporate budget to bring extra servers online on a whim, balancing load during rushes is going to be difficult.
Then again, Reddit servers went down a lot and they’re big and corporate.
no choking here

Ive tried and failed to sign up to lemmy.world over the course of a week lmao. At least there's plenty of other places to go out there
That's the beauty of the fediverse. You'll be with us no matter the instance plus, the lack of karma means making a new account on another instance is a tiny inconvenience. :) i likes it here. like we're all in a big pot of stew with no chef to fuck it up. looking at you SPEZ..... dickhead
I still see votes on this site. Is this not the same as reddit karma? Sorry I'm a new lemmy user.
It's near the same but the important distinction is that your user doesnt accrue or lose points. Just comments and posts have a score, not your profile. This should disincentivize karma whoring.
