I don’t know where else to ask. For the past 2-3 days I’ve been trying to go to lemmy.world to check my favorite communities because of the federation issues (to other instances) and I want to see the actual live content. I usually go there just from a bookmark and check for what’s new. However now when I open lemmy.world all I see is basically nothing. I tried different browsers, clearing everything etc. Does anybody else have this issue?

    I think lemmy.world is having a lot of technical issues right now due to the massive influx of traffic experienced recently. I’ve personally been getting a lot of random error messages on the mobile side of things on the app I use to access lemmy.

      it would be nice if instances had a health status to let users know about issues proactively

      Yeah same here. Ever since the Reddit api cutoff lemmy hasn’t worked for me - mostly error messages. I figure they are working hard on scaling out so I’m just gonna be patient and enjoy whatever does load for me.

    A ton of the last-minute Reddit refugees piled in on .world, so it’s best to browse their communities via lemm.ee until they can fix all the traffic issues.

        Doubtful. The instance creator posted that they plan to keep this a permanent thing (obviously within limits). I have accounts on both and also am currently having issues with using the .world instance. Giving it time to catch up with supporting the great reddit migration. The only pain in the butt is subscribing to all the communities you want, especially if it’s one that the server hasn’t got another subscriber from. Learned that the hard way a week or 2 ago when I was still learning about Lemmy. Luckily now, at least on the medium to large instances, you shouldn’t encounter too much of having to add communities manually. Moreover, the 0.18 framework allows linking to communities a bit easier. Good luck.

    This is the reason I’m here on lemm.ee. I’m hoping this instance doesn’t get wrecked by overflow too, but if that means more people leaving reddit and contributing here, I’ll take a little down time.
