Ssshhh... Don't give away our secret..jk This is how lemmy world got overloaded with users. Everyone recommending lemmy world should try recommending a list of smaller user base instances because now lemmy world has 70k + users and counting. Also there should be easier ways to just switch instances.. Or a master guide or something since many users are brand new here, just like me and don't know exactly how things work yet.
I agree. But one disadvantage of really tiny instances is the lack of confidence I have that the admins stay on top of keeping those instances up to date with the latest version of Lemmy. The older the version, the more the likelihood of bugs, performance issues, and potential security vulnerabilities.
Hopefully the Lemmy devs get motivated by this new influx of users that they start to incorporate features that extend the vision of decentralization where user accounts could be migrated to another instance without losing anything. That would mean whenever an instance gets hit with too much load, just switch it out with one that has less load on it and you are good to go ahead with your day.
@[email protected] has done a really great job of keeping VLemmy up to date; I have faith they will continue to do so. The ability to switch instances is a tricky feature and is something the developers are working on, but from what I've heard it's challenging to know exactly how to handle it.
Go to this website and pick a less crowded lemmy instance /node : https://the-federation.info/platform/73#drawer-opened
It'll help load balancing performance wise.
