Judging from my experience trying to sign up for a Lemmy instance for the past 2 days, it's going to be hard. Unless I was doing something wrong, I can see a lot of people having difficulty signing up and eventually giving up. kbin was much easier to sign up for.
Funny how even the small wave is enough to take down the city ๐คฃ. I hope Lemmy can grow to be my primary time waster. There'll be downtime and hiccups, but I'm a patient man.
I sure hope Lemmy has good crowd control.. as a reddit refugee myself
Hello i'm from the wave !
which one -)-)
(โ ใปโ _โ ใปโ ;โ ) the one of the normal people of course.
The sub with all the waifu plane girls?
Nah, waifu car girls is where it's at.
I'm part of the problem. How's it going guys?
Well kbin.social and beehaw.org have both gotten the hug of death over the last 25 minutes so that's fun haha. Might have to hop over to a smaller instance to spread the load out
I don't really know how this system works but if I'm on one instance looking at stuff on another does that help at all? Is stuff cached to help spread out the load?
That's the impression I got from the devs and admins here, but I'm not certain my impressions are correct or what kind of impact external users posting to beehaw communities impacts beehaw's instance
Our current coding work should help, but ya it's not been an easy time for us server admins, when reddit fucks up so bad that half the site tries to join the fediverse.
Thank you for your hard work, and sorry for being part of the reddit hoarde ๐
But seriously, thank you ๐
Its no probs! Just glad we made something that people are getting some use out of.
Longtime Apollo user, just moved to Lemmy. Hoping the blackout brings many more with me, and hoping Lemmy can handle the surge
So, is this lemmy? I just signed up for kbin wasnโt sure if this is lemmy and I can use this to reach other instances. Also an Apollo refugee.
Kbin isnt actually lemmy as far as i know, its a different project, but they can interact with each other thanks to the protocol of ActivityPub.
Could someone explain kbin for me? Is it like a different instance the way lemmy.ml or beehaw is? Or is it a different thing altogether?
