lemmy.world is amazing always up and smooth. When i first started lemmy when the exodus started from reddit i went to lemmy.ml I created an account and was wondering why it wasn’t working all the time. Then realized the person hosting it isn’t following or using good specs to handle the influx of users coming over. I think u/Ruud should talk to them.
I’m subscribed to some of lemmy.ml communities but it being down so much And if they don’t get support fast I think they should just drop off and somebody should take over.
Just my own thoughts
I joined about 10 minutes ago, it was a tough decision. Do I go with a small server as an experiment? Do I go with a large one? What about self-hosting? I settled on this one after reading the post from the admin about upgrading hardware. My hope is that it will stick around, but that’s the beauty of the Fediverse. You can always join another instance if the community doesn’t work out for you.
This was exactly my reasoning too.
Beehaw was also tempting but has a lot of rules and disallows creating communities directly.
