Seems like there's a lot of instances struggling. Props to all the admins out there fighting to keep their stuff running (and don't forget to decentralize!)

Finally signed up for another instance cause world went down

This is the way

Ah great, seems like it's back online!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The page loads, but there seems to be an issue with backend. So the status page doesn't report anything.

[–] Blaze 4 points 1 year ago

Indeed, and now it's 502 Nginx error

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I’m still not able to load anything in the webpage or my apps.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It’s still down despite what that page says. I haven’t been able to get in all morning.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Update: http://lemmy-status.org/

Seems quite useful right now

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's been down for two and a half hours at this point. I hope they're able to resuscitate. Always good to have a side instance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's back up now

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That instance goes down a lot it seems. Wonder why.

[–] Blaze 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the most one by far (27k monthly users vs 4k for the second one): https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And even knowing that, it's still the one everyone advertises. Drives me insane. Is federation between that and the smaller lemmy instances still janky or something? Because if it's not, there's little to no reason.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I usually recommend it to new joiners so that they don't have to worry about federation right away and can just use the local communities.

After that, I encourage them to move to smaller instances, but I guess they are just comfortable there

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If they join to use local, and it works well for them, why would they switch to a smaller instance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My guess is to distribute users more evenly across instances. Mo' users mo' problems.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They should switch to smaller instances to help distribute the load and avoid situations such as this one when LW is probably attacked because it is the most populous server.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It most resembles what they know and does not require them to leave it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There's not much to worry about federation though. I'm not even on a Lemmy server and I see plenty of Lemmy.world.

[–] formatc 1 points 1 year ago

They should disable signups for a while to allow the user load to start distributing more evenly across other instances.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Think it's down. Is that why hot is full of different communities?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It was working fine for me, and then today it was extremely slow. Maybe because of continuing influx of users?

Anyway, does anyone know of a way to transfer communities to different instances?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's really been slow lately. Not blaming them, no one expected Reddit to implode and introduce a higher influx of users! But if possible, we should all sign up and browse from less overwhelmed servers; you still get all the same content!
