Probably my fault - and other folks like me. Yall are having a pretty large influx of new users, so hopefully it'll even out soon. I see a lot of loading errors too, but since I blame me, I'm dealing well with it.
I definitely understand it would be irritating for long-time users though. Sorry!
No worries my friend, we've been waiting for you!
Maybe the longtime users, but anyone who's joined in the last month has been waiting for this mass migration to liven up the place. I think we'd all trade some temporary slowness for a bulk of new users, I saw a post earlier saying lemmy.world has grown 40% in the first 12 hours after reddit killed third-party apps.
Hell, I was on kbin.social when the blackout started, and that site went pretty much unusable.
Oh I wouldn’t worry about the “long-time” users. The Lemmy.world instance was established only a month ago!
Yeah how dare you!
(p.s. welcome)
