I hope the admins upgrade the servers. :/
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.
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 can’t post or comment anything on lemmy.world this morning.

*Failure to post. May be risking double-post. I guess lemmy.ml is struggling too. Lol
I hope people won’t get scared away from Lemmy just because of server issues, all this traffic means there are lots of new users coming in and I wish they all stay.
More people need to learn what federation means instead of just saying “oh resdit2.0” and signing up for the flagship server.
I remember when I joined Reddit during the great Digg migration. Lemmy is handling this way better than Reddit handled that, so… Score.
Apparantly, I don’t exist on some instances. And a comment I submitted earlier didn’t federate. Does anyone see this comment?
No? :)
I can see your comment (lemmy.world). Might be a bug, or the influx of new users causing lags in some instances.
What was that?! Must have been the wind…
I can feel the choking🥴
This is my fetish 😅
I also love it when my servers are overloaded with new content and users looking just to have fun and relax for a change. Or choke my girl whatever.
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.
test since apparently my instance can only receive?>>
Well that’s the reason I didn’t create a lemmy account on popular instances 😆
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
As long as you have your content backed up that you don’t want to lose them yeah, switching accounts really isn’t that bad of a deal.
Plus you only need to change if your instance gets defederated or starts sucking for some reason. Otherwise you can post and comment on other instances communities. The only limitation is that you can’t create a community anywhere but your own instance, but why wouldn’t you do that already?
Shameless plug for the Mass Effect community on lemmy.world, I don’t moderate it but there aren’t that many people there and the communities on reddit were pretty sizable so hopefully we get some more users.
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.
