      So each lemmy site is an instance with its own servers. Even though they all connect to one another, they run on their on load and data. So you’re on lemmy.world, which is being very overloaded with the influx of reddit folks. I’m on lem.ee which is buttery smooth, yet still able to see posts and comments from world, since it’s all federated

      You just make an account on a smaller instance (easiest way to find them is at the bottom of the page here), and subscribe to all the communities you want from lemmy.world and others to start pulling them in.

      Then proceed to shitpost as normal.

      EDIT: Alternatively, go here, switch the “Software” option to Lemmy at the top, and look for a server geographically close to you.
