Both were down for me before, they seem to be up right now but just made this account on Lemmy.blahaj.zone (Henry is the name of my actual blahaj lol). It’s probably because of the traffic influx from reddit refugees from the absolutely disastrous spez ama (where he doubles down on everything and doesn’t apologize at all). Allegedly they’re trying to suppress Lemmy mentions but I guess it’s not working well enough lol

A good problem to have although long term we’re going to have to figure out how to deal with these spikes in traffic.

    I personally belief that regional instances are the way to go

    This is pretty much how I sign up to stuff in the Fediverse. Since I’m in Europe I look for any of the closest english-speaking instances with a local CCTLD and sign up there - however this time I decided against it because I couldn’t figure out who operated lemmy org uk (my preferred instance before it disappeared). Ended up joining lemmy.one instead and happy with that decision!
