A word on reddit, blackouts, & effective protesting: https://piped.video/watch?v=U06rCBIKM5M

wish some reddit mods participating in the blackout watched it.

I'm thinking about sticking with Lemmy for most things and just using my Reddit alt as a porn aggregator. Who's with me?!

Does anyone know what's going on with Lemmy.ml? I can't access it and keep getting 502 errors when I try to check it on browser. Hopefully they're just working on their server because that was the instance where I had subscribed to stuff. It won't be a big deal if they're just gone, just an inconvenience.

If they are gone, already, it is somewhat worrying for the viability of Lemmy generally, because I don't want to lose my subscriptions and comments every time a server shuts down. I've made an account on beehaw and lemmy.world as well under the same username, and I probably will make ones under other popular instances just in case.

Serious scaling problems with the database in Lemmy. The code was not really tested and tuned for the quantity of federation peers to replicate with, comments, votes, postings. A lot of big communities over there to replicate.

I'm seeing pending on all my remote Join to communities hosted there.

All of the most popular lemmy instances have been having issues while they deal with the massive user growth. I expect it will get better over time as things get figured out and lemmy devs make improvements. I don't know what's wrong with lemmy.ml specifically but it will probably be back online soon, I think one of the main lemmy devs runs it so it's not like they are going to abandon it now that lemmy is taking off.

Probably a better choice is UNpopular instances. Smaller ones. People who don’t quite grasp the federation concept are flooding in from Reddit, joining the larger instances, and overwhelming them.
