Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.
Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but it’s great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.
So, welcome reddit expats!
I feel it, can barely reply from all the errors being thrown.
Popular instances like lemmy.world have felt a lot of growing pains recently.
I’ve made a secondary account at sh.itjust.works for enhanced shit posting capabilities, since it seems to be more responsive at the moment.
I feel bad for the lemmy.world admins that have to keep up with the software needed and costs accrued to handle the world knocking on their doorstep. I hope advertisers hit them up soon so their bills become easier to pay. While advertising was annoying on reddit, I’m more than willing to put up with it on this instance of lemmy, the admins have earned it.
Please just donate… No need to invite ads here.
Try another instance, as close to your home as possible.

Good idea, opened up another account with our northern Canadian brother sh.itjust.works/ for backup
Yeah, I also have one on lemmy.ca, the ping is more consistent (both are 2-3ms).
I paused using lemmy.ml because 90% of the time it doesn’t work
