I'm on a smallish lemmy instance and I just click "All" and I can see stuff from the bigger ones. Don't really see what the issue is.

I always wanted to float when I lived in renton but the river looks like this.

I'm from the seattle area and this isn't unheard of there but its really uncommon. A man in monroe washington used an innertube as a getaway after a bank robbery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Curcio

Theres plenty of rivers but most of them are not suitable for this. The state touches the ocean and is divided east/west by a giant mountain range. The NW peninsula is a giant mountain range. It's anything but flat there. My last apartment there was about 100 feet from a cliff that fell off into the puget sound.

You're more likely to get on a boat and paddle around and drink thank just get a river and see where it takes you. I've spent many an afternoon drinking beers in a canoe (you can have a fishing pole as cover)

No worries don't feel like you have to keep 99% uptime or anything. I just appreciate that you let us all use your instance.

I would guess having not seen any logs or anything that the server might need more resources or is hitting some limit that hasn't come up before. Like max open files or some sort of ram limit. I haven't looked into running a lemmy instance yet but usually you can mess with the config and squeeze a little more life out of stuff. But it could be that the server itself needs to be more powerful.

I've had a lot of problems getting posts to load that are on other large instances. The whole ecosystem is probably just slammed right now. Reddit dying made people go "well whats a thing like reddit I could use instead" and we're all just showing up load testing the small instances people set up for a small group of friends.

I'm gonna miss /r/buttcoin. It's a great place to watch crypto bros lose everything. How will I know when cz is arrested?

I have multiple reddit accounts and on one my front page was literally blank so it depends on what subs you look at
