My sincerest apologies for the abrupt change . Since Lemmy World is kind of overloaded on a fairly consistent basis and many other instances fall way behind in federation, I've decided to address the problem the fediverse way and move this community to a smaller but still reliable instance (mine, lol). This should serve to both alleviate the federation load on Lemmy World as well as provide more timely updates to other instances involved. This is essentially the same as what the Casual Conversation community did with their move to lemm.ee, and for the same reasons.

The LW admins are doing a great job, but the flaw that's causing the federation backlog is inherent to Lemmy itself. This may or may not be addressed in a future update, but it's causing quite a bit of problems at present. For now, all we can do is help spread the load.

There's that wonderful old joke about a chicken and egg have just made love, and they're lying there having a bit of a post-coital cigarette. The chicken says to the egg, "Well, that answers that old question".

Edit: Can't find the video with that whole segment, but to answer the question in the title: Like the punchline, the egg came first. Egg laying animals existed long before the chicken evolved.
