Anyone else? Can barely navigate, feels like browsing with a 56k modem. I’m in the US Northeast.
You must log in or register to comment.
I imagine they are reaching there user capacity. Lemmy was never designed infrastructure wise to support so many. It was supposed to be a slow growing platform of small communities

Every action I do- Network error
US NW here, yeah its been really slow this morning, since around 6am or so
commenting appears to hang/not commit but it does go though if you try to open the parent comment from another tab you’ll see the comment went through (probably just increasing the load, but eh…)
One option is to make another account on at least one other kbin or lemmy instance. You can at least browse with that when the instance that has your main account is sluggish or otherwise having problems. Not to mention that it will take some load off that main instance, help other users on that instance.
Even if you don’t want to make an account, you can at least browse without being signed in using another instance. Can’t customize the settings, but that may not be a huge issue for you. I’ve popped over to fediverse.boo, another kbin instance, to anonymously browse when kbin.social, where my account is, has issues.
It’s a neat perk of the Fediverse that that is an option. On early Reddit, when the site went down – and it did that a lot back when – it was down.
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list
Lots and lots of options to pick from there.
Yeah, this is really the best way to handle it.
I started using my lemmy.ca account much more instead. But still check in here.
I found that syncing between instances has been a problem. If I view a thread from lemmy.ca, it might not have all the comments from lemmy.world.
So for that reason I’ve been still wanting to use my lemmy.world account if I can. I know they will iron these issues out though.
Very exciting times :)

Was working fine until America woke up.
Server strain gives me confidence in the future
We are a heavy bunch
Kbin is really fast right now
Specifically kbin.social.
There are other kbin instances than kbin.social, and other lemmy instances than lemmy.world.
yeah, that’s why i use kbin. much faster than lemmy. the downside is it has less feature
I don’t see anything about kbin that makes it inherently faster than Lemmy. Lemmy.world is just larger, and is growing quickly, where as kbin.social got a major server upgrade during the last wave.
I’m just gonna leave this small timeline here:
Lemmy: 1,660,853 overall users
Kbin: 52,449 overall users^ 2023-07-01 01:29:00 CEST
Lemmy: 1,582,360 overall users (- 78493, definitely bots)
Kbin: 53,459 overall users (+ 1010)Active last 30 days:
Lemmy: 51,711 users
Kbin: 53,490 users^ 2023-07-01 12:00:00 CEST

Kbin: 54,001 users (+ 288)^ 2023-07-01 21:15:00 CEST
Lemmy: 1,553,032 overall users (- 33283, certainly bots)

Furthermore for the kbin stats visit this site and for the Lemmy stats visit this site
Yeah, but a lot of those Lemmy accounts are inactive ones being auto-created by bots on Lemmy instances that didn’t have a CAPTCHA set up. That shouldn’t produce load for lemmy.world.
That’s why I included the accounts that were active the last 30 days as well as the overall user numbers. Though the overall numbers (for Lemmy) seem to be sinking hard every now and then, certainly due to bots and or botted instances being deleted, the number of active users however is rising steadily.
I’m sure the bots will arrive in force as the place grows, but the number of magazines, posts, and comments has really taken off from when I joined kbin a few weeks back. This place is getting really enjoyable with a lot of content showing up.
Yeah. Taking a while to reply. It is 14:30 in UK so load can be pretty testy on a weekend. Especially with many refugees. Probably a good load test, but uncomfortable for users.
Given the current time, I expect the load is increasing due to the rest of the US waking up and getting online. The fixes and optimisations have been rolling out at an incredible pace but ultimately the software has never had to support these kinds of numbers so we’re all just guinea pigs in a big experiment and need to be patient with some ups and downs.
Same for me, stuff takes ages to load and most posts I make timeout. Am in the UK.
Probably my fault - and other folks like me. Yall are having a pretty large influx of new users, so hopefully it’ll even out soon. I see a lot of loading errors too, but since I blame me, I’m dealing well with it.
I definitely understand it would be irritating for long-time users though. Sorry!
Oh I wouldn’t worry about the “long-time” users. The Lemmy.world instance was established only a month ago!
Maybe the longtime users, but anyone who’s joined in the last month has been waiting for this mass migration to liven up the place. I think we’d all trade some temporary slowness for a bulk of new users, I saw a post earlier saying lemmy.world has grown 40% in the first 12 hours after reddit killed third-party apps.
Hell, I was on kbin.social when the blackout started, and that site went pretty much unusable.
Yeah how dare you!
(p.s. welcome)
No worries my friend, we’ve been waiting for you!
Yeah, slow for me too. But it’s in its early days, so the experience can only improve from here!
The website is so slow it’s unusable. I found an iOS beta app called thunder that loads posts fast.
