FYI: lemmy.ml - central hub for many communities - has been down 2 hours after 0.18 upgrade EDIT: back up - they say DDoS attack against multiple Lemmy instances (sh.itjust.works)

Based on my weeks of code (and operating instance) study on lemmy_server, I strongly suspect that peer servers upgrading to 0.18 is causing a swarm of federation activity that lemmy.ml is getting as peers go down and back up.

I quickly found out beehaw was not a good instance for me. This is some great reaffirmation that switching instances was the right call.

I think this is the nice part of lemmy though, many instances exist (or can create your own), and there are plenty with level headed communities/mods/admins, it just takes a bit to find what you're looking for.

Honestly am preferring defederation from beehaw. Missing some good links (for now), sure, but those echo chamber comment sections, no thanks.

I'm looking forward to interacting with their users, but I'm not terribly upset about being excluded from communities that have silo'd themselves. That said, Beehaw has only defederated with us until such time as they can handle the extra influx of content.
