They do a lot to be transparent and monitor availability.
There is an big usage jump before Xmas, I assume because of the recent lemmy version upgrade that many admins are saying uses more resources.
Give em some time, I’m sure there will be a patch soon.
Best part of the fediverse is you can just use a less popular server until things calm down.

I know I could, but many of the communities I follow, are on lemmy.world. So that doesn’t mitigate the issue.

I don’t think you understand how a federated system works based on that comment.

If the instance that hosts those communities goes down or struggles to stay afloat won’t it struggle to federate its content outside its own network?

Federation takes almost no server load. It’d all the people loading images and comment threads that cause the server to slow down. Yes federation can break, especially due to unexpected code changes, but typically using a federated, lower user count site helps over all.
