Heard it was DDoS attacks, which seems pretty likely.
Another benefit to using a smaller instance (or hosting your own), you don't have to worry about this stuff

Hopefully they don't try to mess with Beehaw, y'all are too nice :)

lemm.ee! The lead admin is top notch, he contributes directly to the lemmy codebase and implements his working mods there before they get accepted. He was also one of the key helpers in the first lemmy.world hack (which incidentally lemm.ee was immune to).

I don’t think it’s in anyone’s best interests to encourage mass users to any single instance. That “everybody get in this same room” behavior is part of the problem.

Lemmy and the fediverse depend upon users distributing themselves across many reliable instances. More users in a single instance equals more demand on that individual server and more vulnerability based on that single server’s status.

While I agree with that, lemm.ee doesn't seem to be dominating much. It isn't even top 3 - the top 4 in my understanding is lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, beehaw.org and sh.itjust.works (in the order they fell out my brain). So I don't feel guilty cheerleading for it, at least not right now.

However in terms of user experience, lemm.ee has been by far the most reliable for me. Afaik it was the first to have a truly stable version of v0.18 (he didn't upgrade right away, but implemented a modified version of a release candidate of v0.18.1).

Does he have a way to fund his lemmy instance? I'd love to help support someone like that who contributes to the codebase

Yep! He has two methods I'm aware of currently, his Github and Ko-Fi. I asked him which he prefers, he said Github has slightly lower fees.
