It’s a good problem to have. Not that many users is a worse problem to have.

Reddit went down after 7199 subreddits closed lmfao

things seem just fine for me ATM, discord feels way slower even if I’m just using their API, not that I’m expecting things to be perfectly fine; but I do think that once the influx is over things will normalize.

We are apparently doing better than reddit rn lmao. Reddit backend is down at the time of writing this.

Won’t anybody think of the admins?!?

It seems to be going pretty well tbh any centralized service would get the hug of death with such a huge increase, this distributed thing seems to be behaving much better

People just need to join different instances, not the same big ones. It’s confusing when you’re new though, so I don’t blame them at all.

I’m actually surprised they’re doing as well as they are. Even if last night things seemed to slow to a crawl for some instances I just decided to give it the night and try again this morning. I don’t care if things get leggy or grind to a halt. It’s understandable and I can just do something else in the meantime. I’m not looking to have my face plastered into my phone constantly like I did with reddit.

Just use another instance. Lemmy.world is great, no need to write an essay to join like some lmao

Literally switched fedi instance because it wasn’t even letting me log in anymore. I’m doing my part!

I wonder how much sleep they’ve gotten this week.

Lemmy is going to get the hug of death
