    People be forgetting the entire point of decentralization and recommend a single overloaded instance when everything’s connected anyway 😔

    Join and recommend smaller general instances like lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, and lemmy.one at random instead. Smaller servers have been upgraded for the surge of users too you know

      That was basically my logic when I joined lemmy.world a few weeks ago. Oh well…

      We really need to build tools that maker it easier and more obvious for people to do that. We can’t punish people AFTER they have an account. Instead the signup process on overloaded servers needs to change

        I think we need accounts themselves to be decentralised so you can move your user between instances

        Then we could have each instance automatically load balance with other instances it federates with, if it’s overloaded it could just forward users to another instance

        I think as long as we have the concept of users choosing one specific instance themselves we’re going to have problems with everyone going to 2 or 3 mainstream ones
