Somebody needs to give lemmy.ml some love (lemmy.world)

lemmy.world is amazing always up and smooth. When i first started lemmy when the exodus started from reddit i went to lemmy.ml I created an account and was wondering why it wasn't working all the time. Then realized the person hosting it isn't following or using good specs to handle the influx of users coming over. I think u/Ruud should talk to them.

I'm subscribed to some of lemmy.ml communities but it being down so much And if they don't get support fast I think they should just drop off and somebody should take over.

Just my own thoughts

I think lemmy.world is in a great position because the admin has experience hosting decentralized platforms and already has a good pipeline to cover server costs because of that.

lemmy.ml is also the first instance that I joined. I don’t think lemmy.ml should drop off. Since it’s run by the lemmy devs I think they have their hands more than full at the moment, but I’m hopeful that things will stabilize eventually and they will get more financial support with the new users.

I think it’s important to have at least a few big populated instances that are “main” instances. I like what I see with lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, and beehaw.org. Personally I think it’s bad if we are too centralized on one instance or too spread out on a bunch of others. It seems like it’s going fairly well so far though, and I hope that when other big instances keep growing (and like I said get some more financial support from the community) they can improve their hardware too.

Sweet, Thanks for that. I don't think i will have lemmy.ml for my main instance since lemmy.world filled that void. but yea we should give lemmy.ml a chance. this influx of users migrating over was probably planned but not planned as how many will come over. IT will just get better and better. I actually woke up today and didn't even look for reddit, its deleted from my phone and all bookmarks are gone from my desktop. I was like. whats up with lemmy today :P

I woke up and did nearly the same thing!

Yeah! Lemmy.world is a better fit for me overall. I had joined beehaw.org after lemmy.ml asked users to try and find other instances to call home initially. I didn’t completely mesh with their server preferences. They are a great community though and I appreciate what they’re doing. I hope they keep growing as well.
