I'm actually seeing more and more .world users getting pissed as the downtimes become more frequent now.
I mean that is the problem of too many people being on that one instance.
I really blame Sync for defaulting to lemmy.world, imo lemmy.world should close to new registrations, at least while they're figuring things out.
I moved instances after the downtime when Sync came out, it's been smooth sailing since
I just did the move. Tired of having the website offline and no info. Will delete the account soon
have half dozen various types. no need to delete. fedi-wide accounts are still a wish. name them the same and carry on. can set a redirect on mastodon. not sure lemmy
Thinking of the same thing, but if I delete my account on an instance, do the comments and posts from that account also get deleted?
Reddthat is worse tho
I haven't really had any issue, and was happy enough to donate to them. I joined a few instances for various reasons, but reddthat is my main
Not really
IF you want to switch to an alternative instance use the tool Lasim to synchronize your accounts: synchronize subscriptions, settings and/or blocks. Tool is available for Windows, Linux and MacOs.
Do you know of a way for those of us only on mobile to move subs over?
just pick another instance and create another account. same email. not complicated. can't migrate stuff you can't get to, meh lemmy instances fediverse.observer
No, sorry :(
Cuz you can just use another smaller instance, as you should.
Lemmy.zip and lemm.ee are cool
For all the people that like to talk about having access to the whole fediverse and decide for themselves who to block...
mander.xyz and ttrpg.network are both rather niche instances in their own right, but don't defederate, and I don't believe are defederated by, anyone.
No one join them and say/do anything toxic though, don't ruin a good thing for me lol
Shhhh
Yeah, .zip represent
If only federation existed... and other instances existed....
I made an account on sdf.org because I got tired of lemmy.world's servers going down. But I found out that SDF's servers often go down, too...
tchncs is pretty stable so far
I'm doing pretty good so far.
Tbh I've just stopped using my world account at this point. Lemmy.ca has been much more reliable so far lol.
Until a moose power - fucks the servers
As long as it's filmed for the content. Need to feed the meme machine.
I never gave reddit 1c and blocked all ads. I donate to lemmy.world.
I have zero anger when lemmy is down, I despised reddit, especially towards the end.
I really wish more people would donate to lemmy I think it's totally fair to pay for someone to manage and help with running the site.
It's hard to just say "volunteer".... Even if people volunteer and we can only afford to send 50% of their fee their way it's still something....
If we want lemmy to thrive without ads we have to all pitch in. Just give 2$/ month... If we all did that we'd be able to hire people full time...
Up time 76% on lemmy.world // last 24h.

Gotta love decentralised shit
The funny thing is that Reddit with its big teams and infrastructure was also sluggish and going down a lot this week and we keep forgetting that. No excuses for Reddit.
Same reason I am here. I had two small communities for my interests there, but it was down so often that I decided to move here AND move my communities. This place seems a lot more stable. That's really the downside of huge servers on lemmy IMO. If communities centralize on one server, whenever that one server is down, so are the communities for everyone.
I would totally run my own server but I'm not tech enough. I have spare hardware, and I have a 1GB fiber connection, but I am not a network security expert, so I am afraid my home IP address would be targeted and disrupt my house Internet in general. Even if I don't allow others to create account or communities on my server, I still feel like it's a risk for me because I am not skilled enough to deal with threats.
How do you move a community, start fresh?
Yes. Both were only a few months old and I was the only one posting in them anyway, so I just started going back through all the links and posting them here. I'm sure there will be tools for automating it down the road, without it spamming the local feeds of the server it's moving to, but right now I know of no such application or feature.
I mean communities being on world is an issue too.
options are optional
Not having just an account on .world is a necessity since it's the favorite target of attacks (at least, I'm assuming that's why it's down so much).
this is the opposite on reddit (obvious reasons). ppl go ham when someone mentions lemmy.world is down lol
Which is especially funny since you can just log into a different instance and keep browsing, unlike with Reddit.
I switched to lemm.ee, it's much more stable since it's not constantly being attacked by script kiddies. I have a theory a user got banned, and is making it their personal mission to ruin .world's performance. Please donate to your home instance owner(s) if they have that set up. Even if it's just a little, it can make everyone's experience better.
My home instance managed to get blocked by Lemmy World's Cloudflare firewall, probably because my Pleroma/Akkoma account and my Lemmy account are on the exact same IP.
Fun fact: it was my Pleroma's fault after all! Some confusion with its "transmogrifier" library was causing it to spam requests every 0.8 seconds on average - not even joking, at one point my IP was the largest source of incoming requests in the world. Sorry for the accidental DDOS
Reddit servers down? Didn't notice
Lemmy[.]ca user for this reason haha
Lemmy goes down more than a 2 dollar hooker on a Friday night. But the only reason I care is because I don't use the other site.
Kbin.social alt accounts rise up!
My main kbin account is kbin.cafe but im using this one for Artemis until kbin API is properly implemented
that's exactly the reason I made an account here
