Its that time again

Plot twist: it's the lemmy.ml team doing the ddos'ing

I mean they did say the attackers had intimate knowledge of Lemmy so…
- That is not saying anything, the full documentation and source code is public for everyone to read.
- Time to point fingers (at other instances)!!!1
who is doing the ddosing is prime material for conspiracy theories
- Conspiracy theorists are doing the ddosing
- It's obviously funded by spez

I actually migrated to lemmy.ca, eh, since lemmy.world is down half the fucking time. I have enemies to destroy, and I don't got time for that shit.

Lemmy.ca is the superior instance and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
- is it canada or california based? or is it neither and just the domain they happened to pick?
Are those enemies the Lemmy.world servers?

Would be great if people spread out a bit.

Not a competition.

Use small instances. I've never had trouble on lemdro.id.

How do I even find other instances? Not trying to sound like a turd, I just legitimately haven't looked into it at all yet
- You could use lemmyverse.net to look what instances and communities there are
- I think it usually just involves look around the comment sections. People are like "I'm on this instance, it's good blah blah blah."
  
  In my case though I chose lemdro.id because it's an instance that centers around a topic I'm interested in.
- At the bottom of every Lemmy page, there is a link in the footer that says "instances". It lists every instances currently federating with this server. Just look at the list and pick something that catch your eye. Note that it lists not just Lemmy instances, but also kbin, mastodon, etc.
- If lemmy.ml is accepting signups I heartily recommend it.
Or make your own
This is the way.

Don't join big instances. There should be no main instance. Join small instances. Spread the load
- That's what she said

Meanwhile me on lemmy.zip -

grabs popcorn

I truly dislike .zip domain names tho
- Are they too compressed for you? ;)
- Is it due to the scammy potential uses of the domain?

lemmy.sdf.org is a nice instance.

Kbin.social has been incredibly solid recently

I'm a big fan, just wish it didn't block so much nsfw stuff
I feel like it’s been pretty solid the whole time.
- First couple weeks were pretty rough, but it's been real smooth sailing since that all got smoothed out
- because we don't have a fascist tankie at the helm 😎
shh don’t jinx it

Lmao

we just took a nap

It'll be back eventually, bigger and stronger than before 💪

Ah yes, so they have another large instance to ddos

Use smaller instances like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee. You know, the entire point of decentralization.

How long will it take, do you think, for lemm.ee to become one of the bigger instances? I keep seeing people mention it, and that's why I'm here.
- lemm.ee is larger than lemmy.ml by active users monthly, as such it's already the second largest instance. Don't let the "total users" number confuse you: lemmy.ml is ancient and is bound to have many inactive accounts.

It'll be back eventually, bigger and stronger than before 💪
