Lemmy.world should close registrations and not allow new communities

Things have been incredibly unstable there. Until things stabilise, they should force the traffic elsewhere.

I agree. Wants the point of a decentralised platform if most of it's users are on a single instance.

Plus it's not a good look from a new users perspective if the platform appears down every few hours.

It's so that users have a choice of joining different instances. If .world is particularly well managed and provides amenities for users and has the capacity, there's no reason that new users shouldn't join.

The junk communities in every instance are a problem.

As I understand it, Lemmy.world's maintainer wants to own the biggest Lemmy server ever, just like they own one of the biggest Mastodon servers. It's a feature, not a bug.

You are welcome to go to another instance to reduce lemmy.world load.

I don't think you understand how the fediverse works of you think that solves the problem - lemmy.world being unstable effects its ability to federate properly with other instances

Badly managed popular instances unfortunately affects the whole fediverse
