The instance has been down several times over the past few days?

Is there some ongoing maintenance, or are we doomed to face the same as feddit.uk?

    Federation takes almost no server load. It’d all the people loading images and comment threads that cause the server to slow down. Yes federation can break, especially due to unexpected code changes, but typically using a federated, lower user count site helps over all.

      So what changed with Lemmy then? A few months back when I joined the ecosystem many instances including LW were unreachable for many hours a day. Joining up to a new instance didn’t make LW content appear (as they were offline).

      The issues today feel largely the same as a user, though less frequent. Am I misunderstanding?

        0.19.1 has a problem that causes higher than expected server load, as illustrated in my first post showing their utilization graphs.

        As for a few months ago, “someone” was DDoSing lemmy.world almost constantly but i guess they ran out of money or got bored.
