When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status (sopuli.xyz)

Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.

I think lemmy.world is too large for the health of the fediverse. A nasty incident which takes it down permanently could "kill" Lemmy as a whole. Perhaps a sign up stop is in order.

I moved to a different instance about a month ago, after lemmy.world got hacked. I haven't had any issues on Midwest.social. I suggest other people do the same if they want Lemmy to be feasible in the long term. Get the fuck off Lemmy.world.

Here is a list of instances sorted by user count if anyone wants to move: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

So are you recommending to switch instances and not interact with lemmy.world and its users? I don't get this, what's the point of something getting popular if you can't interact with it? So those that got in early get to be here while others have to start from scratch?

And what happens if you have a question and your instance has 10 users, while world has 3000?

That's not how federation works. You can still interact with lemmy.world and its users from another instance, but spreading out not only helps with lemmy.world's load, but also the fediverse.
