Lemmy is decently old but it is Open Source so it is built by people in their free time
Lemmy is built to be defederated meaning that we are supposed to have many small instances instead of one massive one like reddit
Lemmy.world is new, created in the fallout of the API change for sure
All of that is to say, yes we are going through growing pains. Lemmy wasnt designed or tested at this scale for single instances before so we are kind of at the bleeding edge right now. Do with that what you will but I am enjoying talking to y’all enough that I’ll stick through it.
It is “old”, but it isn’t mature. As you’ve said, this month has probably been the first real stress test of the system as is and we are finding faults, as would be expected.
People forget that Reddit also went through a ton of growing pains. Any platform is going to have to deal with it.
So a couple things:

shititjustworks needs to sort out their moderation strategy, new users posting slurs like this from their instance is really unproductive
