I love Lemmy but your question is legit. I just signed up with lemmy.world because lemmy.ml is down.
Before making a post in lemmy.world guess what? lemmy.world isn't responding. I know they have scheduled maintenance at 9 CET but it was 20 minutes before that.
lemmy.ml has been a slow-motion train wreck all June with errors and failing to send out federation copies. This asklemmy community is homed there, and a lot in the past 24 hours is missing.
lemmy.world is now the largest single instance by some margin, so new users really should be looking to sign up somewhere else.
Spreading the load across instances is the way forward.
