I'm not on Lemmy but kbin and it's been like that here as well, and from what I understand it's due to a mass of users from reddit slowing everything down and setting off ddos protections.
hey so regarding Kbin, I tried it, I got super lost. I can use Lemmy alright, very easy, but on Kbin I don't know how to browse either local or global "magazines". Do you know where these buttons are? lol.
