Just in case anyone is using their account here to post to off-instance communities: those posts and comments seem to have a very high failure rate. There is a lot of activity and accounts on this instance. This is to raise awareness, not to pull people away or break up the lemmyverse. Quite the opposite really: there is a technical problem on this instance that might be preventing the lemmyverse from functioning as it should.
It’s probably because of the absolute scale of dot world. This is what happens when you try to centralize ActivityPub, especially an implementation like Lemmy which did not previously have any of the scaling challenges the likes of Mastodon had before.
Everyone should’ve told people to pick different instances (there are STILL new guides written where step 1 is to “just register on dot world” [or shitjustworks, which isn’t any better, really]) and admin should’ve locked registrations after 10-15k, maybe 20k users MAX, yet y’all got too greedy. Good fucking luck dealing with the aftermath.
I should probably go to bed, I’m getting grumpy.
