Just a heads up about instance server load creating federation problems for users from other instances

I'm on a different instance than this community and no comments are showing up for me, even though I can see that they exist when I visit the community while not logged in from the lemmy.world server. It also keeps being stuck on "Subscribe pending" and won't actually subscribe to the community.

I have also had trouble posting anything about this problem here. Hopefully this gets through, as it is a heads up about why there may not be a lot of new users subscribing and engaging yet: They simply don't have access.

Hopefully lemmy.world will fix its server load problems at some time, so users outside of the instance are able to participate properly in the community.
