I'm definitely seeing the benefits of belonging to a smaller Lemmy instance today. (self.meta)

I've gone and made accounts of a handful of Lemmy instances, all of them larger, more popular ones.

... and I can't access any of them directly today, likely due to the influx of users from Reddit.

Programming.dev is alive and well though.

I can't even access the lemmy.world instance. It just always errors out for me.

But I like the idea of smaller servers that specialize in a specific hobby/interest/topic and then all the /c/ communities can be centred around that topic and moderated appropriately. I think it leads to better discussion between people looking for programming topics.

How is it going for you today? A couple of days back the dev was having issues attempting to update the servers to the latest lemmy release, and it was causing some issues interfacing with other instances and using apps. Should be fixed now.

Hey there /u/[email protected], sorry for the late response. You're correct. It seems I no longer have any issue with accessing that lemmy instance anymore.
