Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

They're probably leaving due to all the problems this instance has been having. I've only just recently been able to log back in after several days of it just refusing to let me in. Although I'm not sure if it's an instance issue or a Lemmy issue since mastodon.world has been working just fine with no issues.

lemmy.world was hacked recently, you needed to delete login data.

[–] venusenvy47 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does this mean something other than changing your password? I'm not clear what I should delete.

delete the cache/cookie data for lemmy.world in your browser settings. Directly after the hack everything was working mostly fine for me but if I would open comments in a new tab instead of the one I was already in it would log me out and I was unable to log in. cleared my cache/cookies and logged in again and I'm back to being able to open comments in a new tab without issue.

i think "clear your cache" was the advice? There was a pinned notice about it, maybe check the admin's post history.
