I've seen a lot of lag and downtime from lemmy.world off and on. It seems like they get hit with DDoS or have maintenance issues (for lack of any real IT knowledge). I get the feeling they're getting squeezed and targeted because they're the flagship instance, but that's just speculation on my part.
(Posting from kbin.social in case that matters.)
yeah, I'm not sure where the issue is - .world? .ml? lemmy in general?
Officially the flagship is still lemmy.ml; lemmy.world is actually a relatively recent addition to the network (but grew the quickest).
"Flagship" in this sense would mean the biggest and most notable, seeing as how the the very nature of Lemmy means there's no single figurehead or central instance.
Fair enough.
