I just jumped to another instance. Feels good now that stuff loads again. This sucks right now, but it's probably good for Lemmy in the long run. Load should be spread across instances, and this forces people to move. I've also noticed that I now see some stuff that I couldn't anymore on Lemmy.world, so it's better overall.

Lemmynsfw: spread the load, you say?

Stop flocking to the core worlds, join the fringe! We have the same amenities... Only downside is browsing by All is less diverse

It's not a load problem though, it's because some loser is DDoSing the server. Doesn't hurt to move to other instances where it isn't happening but the real solution would be to find who's doing this so they can be brought to justice (or silenced from the internet forever, whichever is easier).

Please tell others to stop misrepresenting this issue, it is an attack, not a user overload problem and nobody who's misrepresenting it that way is doing anyone any favors except the attackers by presenting it as such. Instead it should be presented as what it is.

I honestly I don't get why people don't just, y'know, join instances that are more local. It would solve the "everything's in a different language!" Issue too because now the main foreign language is, y'know, one you speak.

Or - yeah I did the same I joined a Finnish instance because I live right next door and it seemed like the logical thing to do ~~and screw Denmark~~

Yeah! Leave Gandalf's stash alone, smoke Saruman's instead.

Here is some useful information for people wanting to move instances. For a list of instances, along with with stats for those instances:

https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy or https://lemmyverse.net/

Also, tools for migrating instances:
