The confusion a new user has of which instance to join is causing an overload on some servers. Glad I took the time to understand how things work before I signed up.
But now, there are a few 800 pound gorillas in the room. Hope it smoothes over.
An independent indexer for the Lemmy/Kbin is very needed, even if all instances get to opt-in.
It would be great if we could see all communities/magazines directly from within our instance, it would likely require more computing than an average Lemmy node so cost would be an issue.
In the meantime we will likely see a third-party website provide indexing, possibly the join lemmy page will just add communities.
