lemmy.ml server capacity issue are very problematic for us

I made two posts on !anime@lemmy.ml, neither are visible on both instances lemmy.ml are recommending.

beehaw.org has already become a much bigger instance and they ban lemmygrad, we're already invisible to half the people using lemmy.

It will keep getting worse, at some point you'll need to maintain two separate instance accounts and you'll consider dropping one of them.

so many wild people complaining about 'CCP shills'. yep im on the payroll totally 💀
- Damn imagine. They really should be paying us tbh, we do some good work lmao. But yeah, to be serious, it always seems wild that China would actively be paying people to do this shit, like have they considered that we actually are just ideologically kind of aligned with the CPC? Much more easy conclusion to come to imo, Occam's Razor and all that.
  
  When one's own income depends on closing one's eyes to capitalist brutality, it becomes easier to assume that one's ideological enemies are doing the same thing: ignoring atrocities for a pay cheque.
This is exactly why I have an account on lemmy.ml. Lemmygrad is my safe space to come back to when I am sick of seeing braindead lib takes.
- That's been my approach as well. I also find it's nice be able to post to lemmy.ml from Lemmygrad and not have all the libs from paces like beehaw descend to downvote. So it's sort of a feature when you think about it. :)

  We can more effectively spread agitprop to users from other instances without having them brigade/downvote bomb our comments, very well noted!
- It didn't used to be so liberal though right? It seems to me with the flood of people from reddit it flipped overnight into almost the exact same liberal groupthink as reddit had.
To be honest, I can understand, Lemmy being pro-communist. Shouldn't promote to new users, instances that don't federate with us, on the other hand let the liberals go there and leave us alone ...
If "lemmy is developed by socialists/communists/leftists" is enough for folks to steer clear of it (or move over to kbin, as I've seen at least one radlib insist that folks do rather than lemmy), then... "task failed successfully" in my eyes. No real loss.
- Yeah, I'd rather the community grows slower, but attracts sane people than having rapid growth of liberals with addled brains.
is lemmy.ml down
- The servers of lemmy.ml (along with a few of the other large instances) are taking a beating from the massive influx of redditors.
I don't expect the radlibs that are joining beehaw.org to stay much longer after the Reddit blackout ends, the mentality they have of trying to bully out X political faction they don't like on lemmy.ml isn't healthy to building and maintaining any community. This time it's "tankies", next month it might be liberals who only buy 99% of the CIA narrative on [insert issue of the month here] instead of 100%.

Look at it positively comrades, growing our own community here only has benefits and hexbear.net might federate with us soon!
- I hope the libs don't leave before Hexbear federates. I need to see the dunking.
  
  I heard Hexbear is only going to federate with Lemmygrad. I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff - do you know if that means individual Hexbear users will still be able to post on other instances, and it just won't automatically show up on the all page for Hexbear users?
