Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

The problem with lemmy is that it's not 100% stable. I like it more than Reddit but at least 20% of time lemmy is overloaded, down, not refreshing or else.
I haven't had that problem at all. Maybe a month ago, but now its stable. On the other hand I suppose if might be relative to the instance you joined?
Unlike Reddit, where no users have ever seen a message that said "you broke Reddit" with a sad snoo...
Reddit is also not 100% stable; Lemmy is just experiencing growing pains. Here's to hoping it only gets better
Lemmy isn't overloaded. Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml are.
People need to move to other instances. Lemmy was never designed to have main central instances. There are supposed to be many smaller and more specific ones and people choose the ones that fit their usage.
That's a problem especially with lemmy.world . They took the brunt of the Reddit migration and had to massively adjust their servers to accommodate the influx of users and communities. Other instances have been more stable
Basic shit like linking to comments doesn't even work on the website, let alone the apps. If I click the link icon on your post, it links to the top comment to it instead. Clicking Show Context on that page also does nothing.
