Watch the reported issue.

As for now, you can install an extension like Stylus and create a style like this:

/*
==UserCSS==
@name             Lemmy Unblur
@match            https://lemmy.world/*
@match            https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/*
@version          1.0
==/UserCSS==
*/

.img-blur {
  filter: none !important;
}

I’m using it with FireMonkey on Firefox, but I believe it should work with Stylus too.

For those using other Lemmy instances, you need to edit or duplicate the @match line with the URL of the one you’re using.

It was 222k when I wrote, in “1m” (last month) column. Current 24k seems more credible. lemm.ee also went down from 8k to 2k. lemmy.fmhy.ml grew a bit to 1.5k.

Look here: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

Click “All Columns”.

lemmy.world has more than 4x active users (last month) compared to the second, distribution can get better.

Look for an instance with high uptime and low latency, and also with good amount of users to have good chance to resist over time. The one I’m using is great in all respects: lemmy.fmhy.ml.

• lemmy.world: 98.6% uptime, 208ms latency, 222k active users
• lemm.ee: 99.3% uptime, 16ms latency, 8.2k active users
• lemmy.fmhy.ml: 100% uptime, 7ms latency, 1.4k active users

Edit: one more resource showing overloaded instances:
