      Well kbin.social and beehaw.org have both gotten the hug of death over the last 25 minutes so that’s fun haha. Might have to hop over to a smaller instance to spread the load out

        I don’t really know how this system works but if I’m on one instance looking at stuff on another does that help at all? Is stuff cached to help spread out the load?

          That’s the impression I got from the devs and admins here, but I’m not certain my impressions are correct or what kind of impact external users posting to beehaw communities impacts beehaw’s instance

            Our current coding work should help, but ya it’s not been an easy time for us server admins, when reddit fucks up so bad that half the site tries to join the fediverse.

              Thank you for your hard work, and sorry for being part of the reddit hoarde 😂

              But seriously, thank you 👍

        One of the things I love about Lemmy is that I’m literally over here in a different instance. I can willingly see other content but I also have this local group I can be close with. It brings me back to the old Internet with the benefits and reach of the new Internet.

          Excellent point. A small community, that can easily interact with the larger community. This is what the internet always should have been.

    We still need a good mobile app for Lemmy. I tried using the Jebora one, and its scrolling speed is abysmal.

    Silver lining, I am looking forward to all the new things getting developed for lemmy and the like when they can’t make things for Reddit anymore. Their loss is our gain.

      Interesting. I’m using Jerboa right now and while I have a few complaints, scrolling speed isn’t one of them. I wonder if it’s a phone specific issue.

        Right now I’m just using the web interface on mobile - selfhosted though so I got to change the theme to dark.

    Funny how even the small wave is enough to take down the city 🤣. I hope Lemmy can grow to be my primary time waster. There’ll be downtime and hiccups, but I’m a patient man.

    Fedi/Lemmy, etc…are going to see a historic deluge.

    Good luck and thank you for busting balls to help put reddit out of business and into the trash heap.

    So far I’m looking forward to surfing this wave. Sad to see Reddit burn, but at least there are alternatives.

    Judging from my experience trying to sign up for a Lemmy instance for the past 2 days, it’s going to be hard. Unless I was doing something wrong, I can see a lot of people having difficulty signing up and eventually giving up. kbin was much easier to sign up for.

      Given there is no algorithmic recipe to hook you, I’d wager Lemmy is far better for everyone’s mental well-being. You’ll ultimately squander less of your time mindlessly scrolling.

        That’s what I love about Fedi in general. The algorithms are either fully gone, or are almost entirely working in favor of the users rather than against them.
