Stop flocking to the core worlds, join the fringe! We have the same amenities... Only downside is browsing by All is less diverse
Well, as long as the server is decently large enough it should be fine Like lemm.ee or sopuli.xyz
Yes, Sopuli seems like a main server. Love it.
In my totally unbiased opinion you should join lemm.ee
No no no no no. We don't want to people to join and enjoy our near 100% uptime. Also be warned that lemm.ee isn't de-federated with lemmynsfw so you'll get PORN on your all feed. The horror. Steer clear.

I look at lemmy.world all occasionally to get a sense of what I'm interested in but don't know it yet. Then I subscribe to help expand the variety for everyone. Not that lemm.ee is all that small
lemm.ee probably has a virtually identical /all to lemmy.world, right? They've got like 20k users
Almost definitely, it's hard to imagine there's a community on lemmy.world that not one of the 20k users have susbcribed to
Virtually identical absolutely. But in my personal experience over the last few months, I see content that's in lemmy.world that's not on lemm.ee
For a while, because content was more thin, I'd run through all of active, then all of hot, then I'd look at lemmy.world just to see if there was content I hadn't seen yet
Pretty much any of the top 5 instances already subscribe to each others communities. Definitely not missing out on lemm.ee either!
One can easily get around that by simply subscribing to more communities!
Content fringe world inhabitant here:
Why is our All tab less diverse?
Is it not just dependent on how many instances your instance is federating with?
The main issue is that Lemmy instances, by default, only know about their local communities and remote communities that the users of that server have deliberately subscribed to. Some smaller instances are running federation helpers which are bots that search for remote communities to fix this.

All is based on what people on that instance are subscribed to most, not just federation

I just jumped to another instance. Feels good now that stuff loads again. This sucks right now, but it's probably good for Lemmy in the long run. Load should be spread across instances, and this forces people to move. I've also noticed that I now see some stuff that I couldn't anymore on Lemmy.world, so it's better overall.
Another one sees the light. :)

For what I understood isn’t really the load caused by the users but the load caused by targeted DDOS attacks. Why would anyone attack a Lemmy instance? Humanity…
Apparently it's a wannabe powermod who got banned after squatting a ton of community names. There was a post from the admins saying that he's creating garbage communities, with a quarter of all communities being those at one point.
Here is some useful information for people wanting to move instances. For a list of instances, along with with stats for those instances:
https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy or https://lemmyverse.net/
Also, tools for migrating instances:

Woah 29k new users on lemmy.world !
At this point I view it as a iq test.

Just kidding... But you know what I mean.
I'm from Chile so i joined through feddit.cl 🇨🇱
we are the best country of Chile.
I honestly I don't get why people don't just, y'know, join instances that are more local. It would solve the "everything's in a different language!" Issue too because now the main foreign language is, y'know, one you speak.
Or - yeah I did the same I joined a Finnish instance because I live right next door and it seemed like the logical thing to do ~~and screw Denmark~~

That's why I made a second account
Same here. Probably gonna make this one my main now that world has gone on a defederating spree, make a third or both.
Anyone is welcome to join my instance at endlesstalk.org. Its running on a pretty beefy server, so it can take a decent amount of users.
There are multiple frontends like lemmy.world and I have setup a seeder(lemmony), so the all feed should be pretty filled.
I'm doing my part! Like, I literally have a computer at home that I'm using as my own instance, couldn't be doing my part any further than that (unless I invite my family to join the server)
Spread the Load!
That's what she said.

I remember when it was lemmy.ml that was burning down. I might have been partly responsible for that
Signups are open on my instance up to 100ish users. I run scripts to auto-federate popular content, so it's pretty bumping.
Yep! I made an account on my current instance after starting on one of the bigger ones. I still have my old one just in case. But now that some of the smaller communities I followed have started coming in it feels identical!

Sound off your instances folks! If you like pop music and
- You want to create pop music related communities
- You want to hang around other popheads
Come check us out at poptalk.scrubbles.tech. There are dozens of us here on Lemmy. Dozens!

.world is so unstable that at this point its future is uncertain and I am ready to completely migrate either to beehaw or to some other instance.
I would move to a smaller instance (though I still check their /all on occasion). However, I wouldn't choose Beehaw, as they've defederated from some large instances.
The way BeeHaw is run makes me wonder why they even bother with federation. They want a safe space.

I created a lemm.ee account, and I might just mainly go on there instead of this one (or .world).

If you like books & writing, mine exists (literature.cafe). I have the community seeding bot that runs every 24 hours.
Too left for my taste anyway 🤮
Yeah, everything looks too left when your vantage point is the far right 🙄
I already did! Now what?
Hope that .world stops going down cuz half the communities are on there lol
It's not a load problem though, it's because some loser is DDoSing the server. Doesn't hurt to move to other instances where it isn't happening but the real solution would be to find who's doing this so they can be brought to justice (or silenced from the internet forever, whichever is easier).
Please tell others to stop misrepresenting this issue, it is an attack, not a user overload problem and nobody who's misrepresenting it that way is doing anyone any favors except the attackers by presenting it as such. Instead it should be presented as what it is.
