    We have a uptime thats beyond reasonable, there were some smaller problems some days ago, but they just made things a little slower.

    And Lemmyml is full of tankies.

    There are however many other instances as well, being on many small ones eases the burden for all and makes single point of failure problems less likely.

    100% agree. I'm yet to notice programming.dev go down which makes sense when you consider the target demographic and that the admins probably fit right into it.

    Ah yes, so they have another large instance to ddos

    Use smaller instances like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee. You know, the entire point of decentralization.

    It's not just about users though, we need to separate communities as well. There are so many communities on lemmy.world currently.

    This. I feel like world isn't prioritizing the health of the entirety of Lemmy by not closing community creation.

    Isn't that up to the creators though. If world is their home instance, why would they create elsewhere? Not being able to create communities would kind of defeat the purpose.

    If creators want engagement, they will create on subs with more uptime. That will likely be world in the future, when hardened. The ddos attacks aren't good for Lemmy now, but it should iron out some wrinkles in the long run for all instances. I think the world admins are doing a great job, both technically and communication wise.

    I think you put too much stock into the ddos explanation. I'm not saying it's not a thing, but there are bigger issues that it seems won't be resolved before Lemmy 1.0

    Regarding your first question, tf is my home but I have created communities on different instances. Some instances because the community fits the instance, some because I like the URL. I figure it's best to decentralise as much as possible.

    As to your last point, I think some of what the admins at world have done is tremendous and I celebrate their commitment to world, but there's limitations to the software, as they well know and ultimately this is a decentralised platform of which loads of little instances are supposed to make up the larger whole.

    Lemmy needs a refpost system where you can choose to post articles to different instances that link together.

    You then can get all the benefits of centralization without necessarily being centralized.

    How long will it take, do you think, for lemm.ee to become one of the bigger instances? I keep seeing people mention it, and that's why I'm here.

    lemm.ee is larger than lemmy.ml by active users monthly, as such it's already the second largest instance. Don't let the "total users" number confuse you: lemmy.ml is ancient and is bound to have many inactive accounts.

    I actually migrated to lemmy.ca, eh, since lemmy.world is down half the fucking time. I have enemies to destroy, and I don't got time for that shit.

    Use small instances. I've never had trouble on lemdro.id.
