Lemmy.ml and beehaw.org getting hammered with traffic because of spez ama (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Both were down for me before, they seem to be up right now but just made this account on Lemmy.blahaj.zone (Henry is the name of my actual blahaj lol). It's probably because of the traffic influx from reddit refugees from the absolutely disastrous spez ama (where he doubles down on everything and doesn't apologize at all). Allegedly they're trying to suppress Lemmy mentions but I guess it's not working well enough lol

A good problem to have although long term we're going to have to figure out how to deal with these spikes in traffic.

Yes, it was working ok before the AMA, now it's feeling sluggish. I guess is expected considering the amount of people coming over. New users are all welcome, and we're glad to have you.

Hmm I fully understand why, but every page on most instances (I've been on a few different ones) is taking a while to load (nowhere near as long as the billion dollar website Reddit takes to load their "official" website though, lol.)

Yeah just made a kbin (I have a lemmy too, but found I liked kbin's ui more) and it's been a bit slow. I figure it's cause the ama went so badly!
