By listing instances based on user count they’re overloading and crashing the same old servers hourly (already), instead of treating instances like a federated decentralized network.

A huge number of servers have been added to Lemmy this month, and federation protocols within Lemmy are failing in their own way. Most users do not even realize that comments, likes, and postings are not reliably duplicated between the instances. See issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3101

Does anyone know what’s going on with Lemmy.ml?

Serious scaling problems with the database in Lemmy. The code was not really tested and tuned for the quantity of federation peers to replicate with, comments, votes, postings. A lot of big communities over there to replicate.

I'm seeing pending on all my remote Join to communities hosted there.

"new" reddit and a focus on showing images and video really changed the site. /r/All was often entirely posts with images/video and comments are often just reaction-comments. It really solidified the trend towards a "TLDR" site. I guess they figured their biggest competitor was 9gag or something.
