Things have been incredibly unstable there. Until things stabilise, they should force the traffic elsewhere.

    Yeah ok. Well honestly I think it’s absurd that they have so many users and communities, and I hope people take this time to spread out.

    It’s almost comic how everyone is on Lemmy.world when there is over a thousand other instances with zero problems.

    I recommend Lemmy.today and specially if you are not afraid to post stuff. Would be nice to get some more local conversions going.

      Problem is, most people are going to take one look at join-lemmy and not know what to do. It’s so much easier to point people at lemmy.world or lemmy.ml.

      And until very recently, small servers have had a ton of trouble finding communities on the big servers. That seems to be mostly resolved, though I still get community not found errors when I first navigate to a new community, but refreshing takes care of this. New users aren’t going to know what to do with this.

      Granted, many (most?) people seem to think these problems are a good thing because it keeps the normies out, but forums are nothing without people.
