Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.

I think lemmy.world is too large for the health of the fediverse. A nasty incident which takes it down permanently could "kill" Lemmy as a whole. Perhaps a sign up stop is in order.
I moved to a different instance about a month ago, after lemmy.world got hacked. I haven't had any issues on Midwest.social. I suggest other people do the same if they want Lemmy to be feasible in the long term. Get the fuck off Lemmy.world.
Here is a list of instances sorted by user count if anyone wants to move: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Permanently Deleted
Instead of blocking sign-ups we can have Lemmy's sign up automatically recommend other servers.
Another developer and I already have a PR in development for it.
Here's the idea in more detail: https://lemm.ee/post/2800726
I agree, but they plan on making a message on the sign up screen encouraging users but not stopping sign up so... 🤷♂️
