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
Lemmy.ml is created by the people who made Lemmy itself. We certainly should help as much as we can to keep it afloat, and some of the “main” biggest communities belong to that instance.
That being said, the side effect of requiring people to start their communities using other instances is a net benefit - this eases load for the owners of the servers, helps users adapt to the way federation works, and limits how much one group of people can control things.
