Also at the time of writing, Lemmyworld has >99% uptime.

By comparison, other lemmy instances with as many users as Lemmyworld keep going down.

What optimizations has Lemmyworld made to their hosting configuration that has made it more resilient than other instances’ hosting configurations?

    I definitely second the motion on it being a branding problem. Stuff like sh.itjust.works seem to me like something that dark basement tech nerds would come up with that is “edgy” and really only used by them and other people like them.

    I’m not really into the ironic “edgy” aesthetic and part of the struggle with this transition for me has been orienting myself in the space because I don’t want to commit to some “sketchy” edgelord URL

      That’s exactly what it is and why I love it. The whole thing about this federated networking is that it doesn’t matter where you signed up.
