    It’s run by the people that are making Lemmy. They’re very busy improving the code, which we already benefit from on our server, but I understand they don’t also have the time to update lemmy.ml with every change in code. I think a lot will improve as soon as 0.18.1 is released and am sure they will update lemmy.ml as well.

    Usually no. The problem is, that lemmy.ml is hosted on a too underpowered server or has a too slow data connection to handle the amount of users. In the last 2-3 weeks user count skyrocketed due to Reddit fuckups.

    Instances with servers capable of handling the amount of users/requests will run better.

    Instead of pointing users directly to lemmy.ml it would help mentioning https://join-lemmy.org/ instead so the load spreads over multiple instances. Also disabling registration on here might help in long-term.

    So, everyone: Advertise Lemmy! But don’t advertise lemmy.ml! 😀

    It’s not due to poor hardware resources. The problem is due to low backend performances. I don’t know if lemmy.ml is updated but the new patch will implement a lot of performance tweaks. For example, lemmy.world’s admins found many huge performance issues and they made a couple of PR that have been merged so they will be available in the next release.

    So just I come to this post I notice things are working much more snappily! They’ve just updated the server it seems! Much better right now.

    I wasn’t even able to register on this instance and I still get long “pending subscription “ times.

    Most instances I’ve come across have enough resources relative to usage.

    Slow, no, but there’s definitely some bugs and weird little quirks. We’re not even at a version 1 release yet.
