      I mean that is the problem of too many people being on that one instance.

      From what I understand, capacity isn’t the issue, it’s that they’re being repeatedly DDoS’ed

        Technically, a DDoS can happen naturally if enough people are trying to use it at the same time. I’ve seen it happen to other, larger websites before. And lemmy.world definitely doesn’t have the infrastructure of some of those larger websites.

      I really blame Sync for defaulting to lemmy.world, imo lemmy.world should close to new registrations, at least while they’re figuring things out.
