Lemmy.ml and beehaw.org getting hammered with traffic because of spez ama (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Both were down for me before, they seem to be up right now but just made this account on Lemmy.blahaj.zone (Henry is the name of my actual blahaj lol). It's probably because of the traffic influx from reddit refugees from the absolutely disastrous spez ama (where he doubles down on everything and doesn't apologize at all). Allegedly they're trying to suppress Lemmy mentions but I guess it's not working well enough lol

A good problem to have although long term we're going to have to figure out how to deal with these spikes in traffic.

This is something that made me stop using Mastodon, too many instances with bad method of connecting them. I'd much prefer that instances aren't seen to the user (I wouldn't mind somewhere with the text "this community is hosted by X on server Y"). But seeing @username@instance is weird and many Reddit refugees won't have any idea what does it mean. I mean, the concept of federated network is complex already.

I've also encountered a lot of bugs in my short time of use which I'd like to see fixed, but I'm not sure where can I report them, or to see if they are reported already.
