I tried to get into neocities like six months ago but I just don’t have the want to customize my own site with html from scratch anymore like when I was younger. I like that it exists still but there’s something to be said of modernization when you have limited time each day with other life responsibilities. That being said I hope it takes off!

I’m hoping they add that feature to Lemmy soon enough and switching won’t be necessary.

Tacos = toots

yeah, that tracks.

Not sure, but I’m getting the same thing when trying to connect directly. I’m guessing they got the hug of death. It’s the second day of the blackout on Reddit, this is probably the time of critical mass for people that are migrating. My assumption is they all tried to join that main lemmy.ml instance rather than distributing the load across smaller instances.

Oh that’s good to know, I’ll be doing the same now! 😄

For sure. Which is another great thing about this decentralization. If it a community gets too big and has too many asshats, you can easily break off into another instance!

I don’t think Lemmy will be immune to that, but I think the decentralization will help a lot in controlling that negative aspect.

Honestly, my discussions have been nicer over here on the fediverse than they were on most parts of Reddit.
