r/Lemmy right now is full of posts basically talking about how bad Lemmy is handling right now.

It’s a bad look and will probably hurt the migration.

I know we are moving off of Reddit but the Lemmy subreddit needs some positivity for people looking to migrate

    It’s growing pains from individual instances not being quite ready yet, and from people not understanding the point of decentralized instances. Too many people and subreddits congregated in lemmy.world.

    Both of those things will get better in time. The admins need time to upgrade their servers, and the new users need a little bit of discussion to figure lemmy out.

    As long as lemmy’s user base keeps growing, then we’ll get there eventually.

      people not understanding the point of decentralized instances.

      I think the star trek instances understand and maybe the pirate instance but yes this is an issue which should resolve itself through usage. Just need more instances that can cater to a generalisation of niche subs.
