Thanks for sharing, and happy to see two of the communities I’m posting to on Lemm.ee are mentioned there ([email protected] and [email protected] )
The centralization on Lemmy.world can create performance issues. Reddthat has been having issues since LW upgraded to 19.3: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/edf3gjrxxnocgd/federation-health?orgId=1&var-instance=lemmy.world&var-remote_instance=reddthat.com&var-remote_software=All&from=now-24h&to=now, while they have no issues with SJW: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/edf3gjrxxnocgd/federation-health?orgId=1&var-instance=sh.itjust.works&var-remote_instance=reddthat.com&var-remote_software=All&from=now-24h&to=now
@[email protected], our admin, is trying to figure out a solution, but it might require important rework of the Lemmy codebase
I’m thinking about asking a few communities I mod on LW if they could consider moving to another instance to spread the load.
