That’s another thing. People need to stop recommending the massive servers and recommend smaller ones like vlemmy.net, lemmy.one or lemm.ee instead, at lest until lemmy’soptimized for user counts of this scale. Those servers have also been upgraded for the surge of users after all, and everything’s connected anyway.

In fact, I think lemmy clients should go as far as to assign new users randomly to good general servers like these upon registration so they don’t even have to know about instances; would make the onboarding much better
