This is not a good thing. Part of the problem is third-party apps like Sync and other Fediverse advocates that direct Reddit users to sign up on only one instance, lemmy.world. This is understandable to keep things simple for the Redditors but it hurts lemmy.world (cost and performance-wise) and the Fediverse as a whole (centralization) to have a lot of accounts on one instance. I hope lemmy.world can make an announcement or guide to encourage users to spread out to more instances.

Yeah it's really amazing to see the growth. I switched to my lemmy.ca account for now as I started to really feel the server bog down. Hopefully things go well.

If you use it YOU GOTTA GIVE. EVERYBODY GIVES!

It's been great to see but I've had so many comments just not go through today... Let's see how this one goes...

the more the easier it is for future people to adapt to lemmy when they decide to join as well!

Thank you for having us.

Glad to see people moving here from reddit. I might move to another instance if these errors persist, but it's ok for now while I familiarize with the whole fediverse thing

Still trying to figure out how get subreddit equivalents set up. Everything on my home page is the same "fuck soez" message.

congrats from .ca!

while im here: does anybody actually know why lemmy.world grew the fastest out of all of the instances? its not the "main" instance like .ml, not a safe space like beehaw, and a normal general instance like itjust.works. im curious why out of all places, .world got the main influx

Is lemmy slow for everyone or just me? I'm wondering if I need to switch instance

Love to see the success Lemmy is seeing with the Reddit migration. It's a key time where a lot of people are looking for Reddit alternatives, and first impressions go a long way. I hope Lemmy continues to see growth so that it can become a true competitor to Reddit.
