Star Citizen subreddit has gone private. I'm surprised there are so few in the Lemmy community. Is there another defacto option I missed during the chaos?

lemmy.ml is way overloaded. That is why federation is important and not to centralize on a single instance, spread the load out over multiple networks. The fact that you are on a different server is good, but lemmy.ml still has to process your subscription.

says a lemmy.ml user that still has to move out

There's another gaming and tech specific instance (lemmy.zip), and I think it's better if all the gaming communities have their own instances. I don't see the scaling issues getting better any time soon with .ml or .world, but at the same time we'll get the most exposure here. It isn't ideal.

Hopefully the most recent update will solve the load issue (switching to htp requests), but we'll see.
