I just just tried to reply to two comments. One using connect and I got a 502. The other using the web browser and it is still waiting. We will see if a new post will work I guess.
I think Lemmy is going through a lot of growing pains right now on a few fronts. Hopefully things will smooth out in the near future. If you like what you see here, consider donating to an instance/app so that people can develop this wonderful thing further.
I only just discovered Lemmy two days ago but I already love it. Sure there's lots of room to grow, but we'll get there! I definitely intend to set up recurring donations once I've settled on an instance and app that suit my needs.
I'm really enjoying Wefwef & Mlem right now. Memmy is good too but I prefer the navigation style of the other two.
I started out on lemmy.world but wasn't able to access it for nearly half a day so I also signed up on lemm.ee and now I'm just getting a feel for the differences between the two to see what I like/dislike.
I was also having issues with lemmy.world, but that was yesterday when there was a huge influx of users and they were also doing an upgrade at some point. So far today I haven't got an error, we'll see how it goes!
I read that account migration between instances is a planned feature, it'll be nice once that is implemented.
Yeah I fully expect there to be some downtime now & then in the early phases, especially anytime there's an influx of users. I definitely got used to Reddit's outages lol. Account migration will be awesome - I can also see the possibility of tools that could make signing up for other instances a simple process if you have an existing account on an instance they are federated with.
