(Controversial) Should lemmy.world close registrations at a certain user count? (lemmy.world)

To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had registered on it. There could be a link to join-lemmys instance overview.

Personally I registered in lemmy.world not knowing any better. I would migrate my account to another instance in a heartbeat if it was possible.

It’s been three days. Do it while you’re fresh. You won’t regret it. Responsiveness is worth losing 3 days of points.

This won't improve responsiveness when interacting with lemmy.world communities though right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It will. I have no lag on my accounts that aren’t on overran servers. And I mostly interact with content from overran servers.

My Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml accounts can barely upvote without delays.

Alright thanks for the info 🙃

It actually does. Switched to a smaller instance, got full speed experience
