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
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.
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
I started at lemm.ee because I knew that signing up to the biggest instance was a bad idea. We have pretty good uptime and it doesn't seem like lemm.ee has been wrapped up in any of the drama of the bigger instances.
Up time 76% on lemmy.world // last 24h.
No message from any of their admis.
Outside attack : usual shitheads.
And if LM LW fails, they will attack the next big one.
Edit #1 : LM is Lemmy.world
Edit #2 : oups LW ... not LM
Edit #3 : Lemmy.World status
Edit #4 : from 4am utc //24h :
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.
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.
Lemmy.world is run by the same people as mastodon.world. I guess a lot of users from mastodon.world went to Lemmy.world and the rest was word of mouth.
wjats so good about lemmy.world compared to lemmy.ml
nothing. lemmy.ml just makes more sense to me.i figure the devs of the protocol should be able to maintain and update their own server, and so far that has proven to be correct.
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
