I'm actually seeing more and more .world users getting pissed as the downtimes become more frequent now.

[–] upturned8393@lemmy.ml 36 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean that is the problem of too many people being on that one instance.

From what I understand, capacity isn't the issue, it's that they're being repeatedly DDoS'ed

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Technically, a DDoS can happen naturally if enough people are trying to use it at the same time. I've seen it happen to other, larger websites before. And lemmy.world definitely doesn't have the infrastructure of some of those larger websites.

Apparently that's not the case for lemmy.world, it seems someone is pissed for being banned so they're DDSOSing .world specifically.

Tho I agree all people trying to go to the same instance is not a smart thing.

also can happen if the software you're using doesnt manage the requests properly flashbacks to slowloris

I really blame Sync for defaulting to lemmy.world, imo lemmy.world should close to new registrations, at least while they're figuring things out.

[–] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

I moved instances after the downtime when Sync came out, it's been smooth sailing since

[–] 011@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I just did the move. Tired of having the website offline and no info. Will delete the account soon

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

have half dozen various types. no need to delete. fedi-wide accounts are still a wish. name them the same and carry on. can set a redirect on mastodon. not sure lemmy

[–] CapeWearingAeroplane@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Thinking of the same thing, but if I delete my account on an instance, do the comments and posts from that account also get deleted?

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah... it makes for a fucking awkward experience.

[–] Deiv@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just swapped to a different instance personally

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yup, no biggie. Will use .world when it's working and the other when it's not.

Reddthat is worse tho

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't really had any issue, and was happy enough to donate to them. I joined a few instances for various reasons, but reddthat is my main

[–] UgandaSans@reddthat.com 0 points 2 years ago

Not really
