    Hmm yeah I may have caused that… I’m suspecting it was WefWef that caused lemmy.world to slow down almost to a halt… I reverted a change I made for wefwef and now the site works again, but wefwef doesn’t… I guess we’ll need to troubleshoot further

    No. lemmy.world is either under heavy load or being updated to 0.18 (there was a post about it). As soon as the server comes back up, it should go back to normal.

    When I was still on /kbin, I spent some time deciding which Lemmy instance to join, lemmy.world is the first to be crossed out since browsing it always feels incredibly slow.

    I tried to go to lemmy.world in the browser and got a 502 gateway error. I think they’re getting clobbered.

    Yeah I had to switch to vlemmy.net for it to work, which involved creating a new account and getting it approved. If this is the type of shit we have to put up with using Lemmy then I may as well just go back to Reddit

      None of the people hosting these instances were prepared for the massive influx of new users. Lemmy is still a platform in it’s infancy, many of the people running these instances are trying their hardest to keep things afloat.

      Reddit is one of the largest platforms that exists and the number of people seeking an alternative is astronomical.

      Besides that, if Reddit goes down, it’s down. You can’t just seek out another instance and use that, this is something I would personally consider a feature.

        Yup it’s not ready for prime time. I’m staying on Reddit until this platform matures a little bit more.
