lemmy.ml is overloaded, asks users to join other instances instead

I’ll tweak a thing or two today to ensure the current machine will be able to handle that ever growing wave, as not only the known network grows, the line of people trying to join the instance keeps growing as well (welcome!).
A few seconds of downtime are to be expected as changes require very short restarts of services. Don’t worry this is expected to be so quick, most of you won’t even notice.
