      I mean that is the problem of too many people being on that one instance.

      From what I understand, capacity isn’t the issue, it’s that they’re being repeatedly DDoS’ed

        Technically, a DDoS can happen naturally if enough people are trying to use it at the same time. I’ve seen it happen to other, larger websites before. And lemmy.world definitely doesn’t have the infrastructure of some of those larger websites.

          Apparently that’s not the case for lemmy.world, it seems someone is pissed for being banned so they’re DDSOSing .world specifically.

          Tho I agree all people trying to go to the same instance is not a smart thing.

          also can happen if the software you’re using doesnt manage the requests properly flashbacks to slowloris

      I really blame Sync for defaulting to lemmy.world, imo lemmy.world should close to new registrations, at least while they’re figuring things out.
