I assume this is to be expected as we get closer to the reddit blackout date but I’m just wondering if lemmy.ml is running slower for anyone than usual?

I am not on lemmy.ml but I have gone through the great Twitter migration. But yes, the servers are most likely smoking right now with all the extra traffic. Not to mention the fact that the underlying code isn’t tested for this amount traffic.
Moral of the story, patience. Server upgrades are on its way and additional code fixes will happen 😊
This is a federation, no need to be patient. Spawn your own instance! Invite a few of your friends to it and cut down on the usage on the main instances.
The more instances that cater to small groups of people, the less content has to be sent directly to each individual and instead just to the federated servers. Less overall load.
I am all for spawning up your own instances. The thing is, that’s not always feasible for everybody. Hence my comment ;-)
