Has anyone else had issues interacting with the lemmy.world instance?

Previously when I was trying to subscribe to a community it would just remain pending, until a couple of weeks later when cancelling it and trying again worked.

Now I'm finding I can't post there either. The 'Create' button just spins interminably.

Are they just getting smashed by traffic? Am I better off waiting until certain times of the day to interact with that instance?

UPDATE: I checked the POST request in the inspector (which I should have done before posting here) and it turns out it rejects posts where you specify the language. It gives a 400 response with a JSON body of {"error":"language_not_allowed"}. Hopefully the Lemmy devs get around to giving the front-end some kind of feedback about that rejection soon, I can't be the only one running into this.

I gather from various posts that have been popping up on my kbin front page that lemmy.world has been having stability issues recently (due to huge numbers of users, malicious actions like DDOS attacks, etc) so I wouldn't expect communication with it to be running smoothly.
