The only thing that's getting me is the server instability. I assume those waters will eventually still, but in the meantime reloading and dropping replies is really aggrevating.
I mean… sure… but compared to where Reddit was 10-12 years ago, and also considering that lemmy and the fediverse have handled a multiple orders of magnitude increase in users more or less overnight, and I’d venture to say that lemmy is doing pretty damn well, and it’s only going to get better - and get more traction - as time goes on.
It is annoying, but at least it makes sense considering the few orders of magnitude growth they've experienced in two days and given that we are not the customer nor the product. Nobody is making money from this. Instead, we are benefiting from the generosity of those who host the service, much like Wikipedia.
Reddit was the same when it was young.
I read a LPT on here saying to choose a smaller instance for better performance. The most popular instances are overloaded by the influx of users, smaller instances not as much. And using the federated system you can still suscribe to different communities, comment on posts… all while having a more stable user experience :)
