    Well, don’t flock to the same servers all the time. Check out join-lemmy.org or one of the other instance lists. My instance (social.fossware.space) still has plenty of space. 😅

      The admins on many instances already went through an upgrade cycle about two weeks ago to account for the first influx of ex-redditors.

      Some of them may already be at their maximum ability/affordability.

      I think others in the thread are correct that moving to different instances will probably help reduce some of the overhead that’s slowing things down for many.

      Lemmy’s would benefit from scaling horizontally (more instances) instead of vertically (bigger instances)

        Not necessarily. New users gravitate towards established, large instances, such as lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. Expanding horizontally would just create a few laggy and overflowing instances, and a bunch of tiny instances no one uses.

          And once the devs can’t maintain server costs, they should shut down new registrations.

          There’s no need to charge for servers

    Apparantly, I don’t exist on some instances. And a comment I submitted earlier didn’t federate. Does anyone see this comment?

    More people need to learn what federation means instead of just saying “oh resdit2.0” and signing up for the flagship server.

    I hope people won’t get scared away from Lemmy just because of server issues, all this traffic means there are lots of new users coming in and I wish they all stay.

    Well that’s the reason I didn’t create a lemmy account on popular instances 😆

      The software industry has gotten so much better at designing and operating web apps that can scale quickly.

    This is where the Fediverse gets tested. Without a big corporate budget to bring extra servers online on a whim, balancing load during rushes is going to be difficult.

    Then again, Reddit servers went down a lot and they’re big and corporate.

      I also love it when my servers are overloaded with new content and users looking just to have fun and relax for a change. Or choke my girl whatever.
