Ah yes, so they have another large instance to ddos
Use smaller instances like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee. You know, the entire point of decentralization.
How long will it take, do you think, for lemm.ee to become one of the bigger instances? I keep seeing people mention it, and that’s why I’m here.
lemm.ee is larger than lemmy.ml by active users monthly, as such it’s already the second largest instance. Don’t let the “total users” number confuse you: lemmy.ml is ancient and is bound to have many inactive accounts.
It’s not just about users though, we need to separate communities as well. There are so many communities on lemmy.world currently.
This. I feel like world isn’t prioritizing the health of the entirety of Lemmy by not closing community creation.
Isn’t that up to the creators though. If world is their home instance, why would they create elsewhere? Not being able to create communities would kind of defeat the purpose.
If creators want engagement, they will create on subs with more uptime. That will likely be world in the future, when hardened. The ddos attacks aren’t good for Lemmy now, but it should iron out some wrinkles in the long run for all instances. I think the world admins are doing a great job, both technically and communication wise.
Isn’t lemm.ee running on commercial hardware designed to take much larger server loads?
What do you think the other ones are running on? i386s in someone’s basement?
