If they're trying to attack all of Lemmy, or the whole Fediverse, they're doing it wrong. lol
It's like obvious spam emails that put no effort into appearing legitimate. You have the spirit of it, but your heart is in the wrong place.

Because of the unfortunate centralisation that's happened, with so many people being directed to lemmy.world or choosing to go there, a big DDoS attack on world would disrupt a lot of communities that people on other instances use. It's in everyone's interests to spread the load more, which is why I find it sad when some communities migrate to world. UnixPorn was one, although it was already on lemmy.ml which is a larger instance too
Yeah, there's so many communities on world that even if you're on another instance, a good chunk of content just isn't available.
Don't the communities work even while the instance is down?
I suppose modding them while down would be an issue
