Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.
lemmy.world has been so unstable for that I decided to switch to another instance. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse though.
I setup my own Uptime Kuma Monitor for lemmy.world just for fun… the statistics are crazy
I keep hearing about people switching, but is it just registering a new account at another instance? I joined world but would gladly jump instances to something more stable.
Just pick a mid-sized instance and there’s a 99% chance it’s more stable than Lemmy.world right now.
Look at users who don’t sound insane and see where they’re posting from.
What happens if that instance shuts down?
I have accounts on multiple instances. My Lemmy app lets me just switch accounts easily if one is having issues.
Hey, sorry for the late reply.
You can either look at https://join-lemmy.org/ or https://lemmyverse.net/ to find a new instance.I also found this tool that helps you to sync communities you’re subscribed to to other accounts on other instances: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
Edit: I found another migration tool which has a GUI, haven’t tested it yet though. https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Oof that’s brutal. Didn’t realize it was that bad.
There’s a lot of small instances wanting to become medium/big instances and share the load, but people need to show a bit of initiative and join them. I just made this account, and here’s a list of a few other small servers with room to spare. YMMV but these all look pretty solid at a glance.
Can I transfer my subscribed list and anything else?
You can transfer your subscriptions using this tool, but your posts and comments obviously can’t be transferred.

At least that’s what I’ve been told, I haven’t used it myself.
Enjoy your new instance
Thanks!
Does the colored bar on top have a measure?
Lemmy.world Is down, but Lemmy as a whole is still up and running. This is why I like the fediverse
This is why we need users to spread to more servers and create communities in them. If lemmy.world goes down that shouldn’t result in half of lemmyhub disappearing.
Yes! I tried with a niche topic like fallout but can’t get people to move over from the Lemmy world community.
Those guys can’t catch a break. By whom or why are they getting attacked anyway?

It was always going to happen but an instance being the defacto default for Lemmy is a bad thing.
There really needs to be a tool to help people pick an instance, but even then people would just flock to the general instances like .world anyway
Myself and another developer are working on something we think will solve this:
OP: https://lemm.ee/post/2800726 TLDR: Automatic User Distribution
Whenever someone goes to the sign up page, for example, on Lemmy.world, we:
- look at the recommender list
- find the server that is most under capacity
- have a very large iframe with “Sign up for Lemmy (using [under capacity server here])”
- have a small “No, I want to sign up specifically on Lemmy.world” option
Would also be cool to have like a short questionnaire, like picking your class in Morrowind, but instead you end up on a German industrial metal music instance.

Hi from my alt. I just have like 4 alt accounts I switch between.
We’re not allowed to have nice things.
The company running lw are asking for free unpaid 150k+a year admin work.
Fuck them. Someone run this personally and start a non profit.
And it’s back up again! Kudos to the team!
They are doing their best, but the users can help by spreading out to smaller instances. It’s also much better for the fediverse as a whole to have many smaller instances instead of a few giant ones.
Maybe you want to join http://lemmy.today? It’s located in Oregon (western USA) and is literally never down. I know since I’m addicted to Lemmy and I’m on it all the time now… :)
Also who doesnt like that cute little Lemmy icon it has. :) Looks like a very surprised lemming, or very happy one…
Cute icon indeed!
I remember talking to you about it a few days ago, has the admin clarified the redundancy question?
He is more than open to having several admins :) He is a Linux devops guy who is doing consulting in the area. It makes sense to have several admins due to the “bus factor” or what we shall call it.
Just have to find someone willing to help out. You know anyone?
