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 decided to pick a smaller instance myself to be considerate, but I've noticed that not everything from other instances is coming through. Like right now I'm missing the post in here about Reddit forcing r/AdviceAnimals open. And every now and then I see a flood of new posts from other instances appear on my feed, but then if I refresh it's all gone again. I'm thinking of joining one or two of the larger instances too.

The flood when browsing all or if you have a ton of subscriptions is a feature that's going to be altered in the next version. It worked when submissions were coming in much slower. Now there is a ton of activity.

If you are trying to search for a community but it's not appearing try searching:

!CommunityName@InstanceName

This will tell the server to pull community and when you subscribe, that will make that community for everyone else on the server.

Oh, neat. I tried [email protected] and nothing showed up at first, but then I tried just de_EDV again and now I see it and was able to join. Got some posts and now new comments are starting to come in. Looks like that worked!
