Lemmy.ml and beehaw.org getting hammered with traffic because of spez ama
Both were down for me before, they seem to be up right now but just made this account on Lemmy.blahaj.zone (Henry is the name of my actual blahaj lol). It’s probably because of the traffic influx from reddit refugees from the absolutely disastrous spez ama (where he doubles down on everything and doesn’t apologize at all)....
Everyone here keeps talking about lemmy this, lemmy that. Why doesn’t Carl get any love? ( lemmy.ml )

How much money does Lemmy.ml need to temporarily boost their servers?
With forewarning about a huge influx of users, you know Lemmy.ml will go down. Even if people go to join-lemmy.org/instances and disperse among the great instances there, the servers will go down....

Apparently [email protected] is its own server now ( lemmy.one )
I think there’s a bug somewhere :)...
Are there plans for a crosspost feature?
Crossposts are a great way to follow posts from one community to the next, and discover more user contributions. I would love to see that on Lemmy.
Individual blogging as a possible feature for Lemmy?
Would Lemmy be a good fit for adding individual “blogging” as a feature? What I mean is the ability for a user to create posts tied to their account instead of a specific community. The default Lemmy Frontend/webapp has all the basic features that would normally make up a blog: ability to make posts, markdown editor, hell...
Lemmy translations signups (on weblate) are working again. ( weblate.join-lemmy.org )
Apologies for all the translators that weren’t able to sign up before (it was email issues), this should be fixed now.

We need to do something about spam
I think we need to add a couple more barriers to prevent spam. What about limiting posting to X amount of posts, or for new users or something?
