I’ve gone and made accounts of a handful of Lemmy instances, all of them larger, more popular ones.

… and I can’t access any of them directly today, likely due to the influx of users from Reddit.

Programming.dev is alive and well though.

    I am noticing a lot of comments from lemmy.world communities can’t be seen from my other accounts like lemmy.ca or programming.dev.

    Aside from that, I think it’s nice to be on a smaller instance.

      I can’t even access the lemmy.world instance. It just always errors out for me.

      But I like the idea of smaller servers that specialize in a specific hobby/interest/topic and then all the /c/ communities can be centred around that topic and moderated appropriately. I think it leads to better discussion between people looking for programming topics.

      I read earlier that users and posts from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works are not being properly loaded and displayed due to the user’s client instance de-federating from instances with problematic users.

      In other words, the behaviour of users in some instances has an effect on their reputation.

      EDIT: (Maybe not. Not trying to kindle the fire of rivalry between Lemmy instances in here. Yet. * vsauce.wav here *)
