they’ve had a buggy day it seems, all their posts are getting quadrupled…
People be forgetting the entire point of decentralization and recommend a single overloaded instance when everything’s connected anyway 😔
Join and recommend smaller general instances like lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, and lemmy.one at random instead. Smaller servers have been upgraded for the surge of users too you know

That was basically my logic when I joined lemmy.world a few weeks ago. Oh well…
We really need to build tools that maker it easier and more obvious for people to do that. We can’t punish people AFTER they have an account. Instead the signup process on overloaded servers needs to change
I think we need accounts themselves to be decentralised so you can move your user between instances
Then we could have each instance automatically load balance with other instances it federates with, if it’s overloaded it could just forward users to another instance
I think as long as we have the concept of users choosing one specific instance themselves we’re going to have problems with everyone going to 2 or 3 mainstream ones
It would help if overloaded instances closed signups, then they would be unlisted from join-lemmy.org
Oi, I joined both before it was the biggest AND before I knew better.
My reasoning was that it would be easier to find new communities passively (instead of searching for them) in the instance with the highest member count.
Joined today and it is laggy. Is this just a lemmy.world issue? Might sign up to a smaller instance if so.
The things is that most people who join Lemmy don’t understand the premise at first so they join the ones with the most people, at least that is what happened to me, it is only after I used Lemmy for awhile that I understood how everything worked
I initially thought that you can see other instances posts but you can’t comment or post there unless you had multiple accounts to every single one, but no you can cross post and comment, which even if it was like that it would still be better than using reddit.
My logic behind joining lemmy.world was that defederation may be an issue, current or future, therefore it made sense to join the one that for one has the most people, and for two is the least likely to be defederated or randomly defederate others.
Granted, I believe beehaw did in fact defederate .world, and I think it was not long after, so maybe I did choose poorly.
I was tempted to join feddit.uk, but I wasn’t sure if that would put the unnecessary identifier of “This guy’s probably British!” on me everywhere I go.
I wanted to make an account on lemmy.ca, but they have to approve registrations manually, so I picked the one I saw people talking about the most.
Only four? I saw eight!
Recently just made 4 posts about the same thing because of a “network error” on opensignups@lemmy.ml
Lol I’ve been wondering why I’m seeing a lot of duplicate comments recently.
The last few days have been a wonderful street test for the federation. To be fair, it has faired better than commercial stuff usually does under comparable circumstances.
I’m from Lemmy world, are there four of me?
yes
yes
