With lemmy.ml and beehaw getting throttled by the mass exodus, try supporting your small instances to spread the load and keep all our content up!

join-lemmy.org

Search for another server while keeping your current instance going if you're having troubles getting in. With frequent updates and an export feature supposedly coming out soon, this will get easier to move your content over in the future as well!

I don’t want to seem like I’m spamming or just commenting for self advertisement, but I have space to grow here if anyone wants to join. I have registrations open for the week since things are tumultuous. https://links.dartboard.social

Same here - https://lemmy.rogers-net.com

Looking to keep mine small like 100 users (I'll see how much resources that takes, then decide if I want more) so I don't incur large bills but want to do my part. Not really anticipating any real "local" community but since everything is federated, you can always subscribe to any communities on any other instances and just live in your "Subscribed" tab, fully enjoying the Lemmy experience like any big instance. And of course users on other instances can use a community you set up here.

Federates with NSFW servers (that don't have abhorrent content, I defederated/blocked burggit), if that's something you're looking for.

I saw someone suggesting "user only instances", instances where you can't post content but can make an account and browse the fediverse.

It might help with the overcrowding.

[–] seducingcamel@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

That could be a good idea for onboarding if it's possible. You can just start browsing right away and then pick your home instance later

I’ll plug mine here too just so people have choice, though tbh it’s more of an instance where you’ll just see who you subscribe to, there aren’t really any communities on it. Just if people want a more customised experience I suppose.

all good. we don't want everyone to be on just one server.

[–] thiccdiccnicc@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly this!

If anyone is looking for a small but cute and queer home, https://lib.lgbt exists!

Plenty of space on https://lemmy.today as well. Too new to be listed on the link above still.

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, its still throwing a "502 Bad Gateway" error at me and before that federation seemed super laggy. Like behind by a couple hours laggy

[–] Diana_has_wings@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Beehaw has been pretty slow for me. Hoping it clears up soon

[–] thiccdiccnicc@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Have to plug sh.itjust.works

it... just works.
