(Controversial) Should lemmy.world close registrations at a certain user count?

vepro@lemmy.world to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 114 points –

To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had registered on it. There could be a link to join-lemmys instance overview.

This won't improve responsiveness when interacting with lemmy.world communities though right?

It will. I have no lag on my accounts that aren’t on overran servers. And I mostly interact with content from overran servers.

My Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml accounts can barely upvote without delays.

It actually does. Switched to a smaller instance, got full speed experience
