I don't know if it's ddos attacks or if it's a "lemmy hug of death" way to many users overloading the servers network, we need a bigger Internet pipe?

The site usually works for me during off hours early morning usually best.

I really don't get the sense that Lemmy is being overwhelmed by users. Things be pretty quite in these here parts. If this kind of volume is bringing down what I thought was one of the main instances, Fediverse seems kind of doomed. I've long been worried about scalability. I've tried other instances and had issues. Each time I think should I give up or hop instances, make a new account etc. People will flock to the biggest most stable instances, but if they can't afford fancy hosting, everything starts to crumble
