6 hours down for lemmy.ml is really going to have a lot of items queued on lemmy.world, beehaw, and other popular servers to delivery to lemmy.ml - causing resources to climb on all those servers.
Lemmy.mlis down right now (back online, was unreachable for about 6 hours)
[lemmy.world had a DDOS](https://lemmy.world/post/1524680) in the past 24 hours, Lemmy.ml was showing problem, but now it is entirely unreachable. lemmy.world was showing "Error!" page (server still reachable), but that seems to have only lasted for a hour or so.

Personally, I don’t think the Lemmy numbers are that big. There are some instances running bots of feeds, a lot of memes. A lot of discussion about Lemmy and other federated services. I do not really consider the volume of posts/comments about everyday topics to be that high.
Having to send out all those posts, comments, likes is killing the servers holding all the content. The project leaders really need to make an announcement about the performance problems, they are systemic.
You can use markdown codes in titles. Bold, italic, and in my case
strikethrough. Two tildes before and after the text.
