GarvosRefugee Redditors as they make the move.
Carly™Me, who’s already been here for a few weeks, trying to just load a post or make a comment right now with the influx of traffic:
Use a non Lemmy.world account and you’ll have more success
how does that work
Go to literally any other instance and create an account there
For a bit more context on what others have already said, Lemmy is more decentralized, akin to email. Lemmy.world is the biggest website for Lemmy, in the same way Gmail is for email, but like email, there are tons of smaller or even personal sites that can all network together. If one site goes down, only content on that site and its users are affected, others are not.
