Whether you are a Reddit refugee (I am one) or just randomly stumbled upon Lemmy and decided to join lemmy.world, welcome to the Fediverse.
If you have been here for long enough and settled in and now finally feel comfortable with Lemmy, I highly advice you to move to smaller instances. I just newly left Lemmy.world to join Lemm.ee.
We need to capitalize on the decentralized nature of the Fediverse and Lemmy instead of having everyone joining one instance. This will benefit the admins of Lemmy.world a lot as they would not have to deal with such a high amount of users. It also leaves room for new users to join and have a good experience rather than an experience filled with server outages where they will give up on Lemmy.
Everyone is welcome to join my small instance at endlesstalk.org. I have also setup the same alternative UI’s as lemmy.world, if that rocks your boat!.
Thank you for sharing this! It seems that you are the only admin of your instance, do you plan to have a back up person?
It is on my to-do list, but it would take some work to add support for multiple people to have access to everything required and I would also need a lot more documentation, than I currently have.
That’s all good, you can take your time! I was just asking because usually that’s a deal breaker for potential joiners to see a one-person admin team
