A ton of the last-minute Reddit refugees piled in on .world, so it's best to browse their communities via lemm.ee until they can fix all the traffic issues.

Or just move to lemm.ee. Are there any disadvantages by staying here?
Doubtful. The instance creator posted that they plan to keep this a permanent thing (obviously within limits). I have accounts on both and also am currently having issues with using the .world instance. Giving it time to catch up with supporting the great reddit migration. The only pain in the butt is subscribing to all the communities you want, especially if it's one that the server hasn't got another subscriber from. Learned that the hard way a week or 2 ago when I was still learning about Lemmy. Luckily now, at least on the medium to large instances, you shouldn't encounter too much of having to add communities manually. Moreover, the 0.18 framework allows linking to communities a bit easier. Good luck.
This is the reason I'm here on lemm.ee. I'm hoping this instance doesn't get wrecked by overflow too, but if that means more people leaving reddit and contributing here, I'll take a little down time.
I think lemmy.world is having a lot of technical issues right now due to the massive influx of traffic experienced recently. I've personally been getting a lot of random error messages on the mobile side of things on the app I use to access lemmy.
it would be nice if instances had a health status to let users know about issues proactively
