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.
who is doing the ddosing is prime material for conspiracy theories
Conspiracy theorists are doing the ddosing

It's obviously funded by spez
Ugh. For five peaceful seconds I'd forgotten about that ungainly rat.
It's like the game but with Spez
Screw you, I forgot about the game.
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.
It's not just about users though, we need to separate communities as well. There are so many communities on lemmy.world currently.
This. I feel like world isn't prioritizing the health of the entirety of Lemmy by not closing community creation.
Isn't that up to the creators though. If world is their home instance, why would they create elsewhere? Not being able to create communities would kind of defeat the purpose.
If creators want engagement, they will create on subs with more uptime. That will likely be world in the future, when hardened. The ddos attacks aren't good for Lemmy now, but it should iron out some wrinkles in the long run for all instances. I think the world admins are doing a great job, both technically and communication wise.
I think you put too much stock into the ddos explanation. I'm not saying it's not a thing, but there are bigger issues that it seems won't be resolved before Lemmy 1.0
Regarding your first question, tf is my home but I have created communities on different instances. Some instances because the community fits the instance, some because I like the URL. I figure it's best to decentralise as much as possible.
As to your last point, I think some of what the admins at world have done is tremendous and I celebrate their commitment to world, but there's limitations to the software, as they well know and ultimately this is a decentralised platform of which loads of little instances are supposed to make up the larger whole.

Lemmy needs a refpost system where you can choose to post articles to different instances that link together.
You then can get all the benefits of centralization without necessarily being centralized.
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.
I don't know why Hexbear's numbers are all blank (because it's newly federated?) but I would expect it to take second or third place.

Isn't lemm.ee running on commercial hardware designed to take much larger server loads?

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.

Would be great if people spread out a bit.
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.

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

Not a competition.
Meanwhile me on lemmy.zip -
grabs popcorn
I truly dislike .zip domain names tho
Are they too compressed for you? ;)

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

can't wait for them to blame another instance with no evidence whatsoever
