lemmy.world's fast growth is working against it. The site has been flooded with low effort content, leading others to start defederating them.

The instance I use hasn't defederated them yet, but I've already had to block most of lemmy.world's communities from appearing in my feed.

That's why I recommended it as a Reddit alternative ;)

Nah, just kidding, it's a good point. But it's a good starter server, and once people get used to the idea, I think they'll naturally gravitate to other servers.

And it seems the whole site is down right now.
