I really don't think we want to get into an uptime competition with Reddit lol
To be fair though, the chance that every Lemmy instance goes down at the same time is so much lower than Reddit going down. Sure, my instance might be unavailable, but I'd be able to hop onto the next one and continue.
I was just thinking this should be a "First time?" meme instead. It feels like there's always one instance down.
But it's nice that Lemmy as a whole is never down, just individual pieces.
Unless every instance goes down we will just call it a partial outage.
I think lemmy.world beats reddit. And it's one of the worst offenders.
That's the face I made about a week into trading Reddit participation in for Lemmy participation or just break-from-social-media time. Conversations feel more genuine, there's less overbearing moderation (at least in my experience), and if there's nothing new on Lemmy I've probably spent enough time reading forums anyways. I'm only keeping my 13-year-old Reddit account to keep track of old favorited posts and specialist forums like specific video game tips.
I can't agree with you more. I have save posts, and niche subs (but I'm not active, I'd just hate to lose them). And on Lemmy I've never seen a thread with deleted comments only. There are less comments here, less people, but quality people.
My only problem is that all and every topic will be about politics or linux. While I'm all for being stuck in a little linux bubble, I hate the politics here. Some dislike the linux topics as well.
I miss niche communities, but the switch was well worth it.
Not installing the app to check lol
I can confirm.
Why do you have the app?
Fedora Linux IT support for obscure things that break and other Linux and Windows subs because I kinda like to see what boneheaded mistake Microsoft will make next
That's why god invented lemmit.online.
Because unfortunately some things just didn't transfer. /r/anime equivalents are dead as fuck. Same with game subreddits. Tv subreddits. Anything properly discussion based.
Lemmy is great for face value mindless reddit scrolling but let's not pretend it's some great dialogue for the vast majority of posts where people just want to share hobby interests vs shit post or politic post.
I mean, I'm on Mbin, but still though, lol
That one time lemmy isn't down
Lemmy can't go down.
There will always be a server running somewhere.
But your instance could be down.
If we're comparing services run by enthusiasts to a service run by a commercial company, then I'd like to add my five cents: at least lemm.ee is much more stable than reddit.com.
Love lemm.ee
Kbin.social has y'all beat in the downed website department. Every click is a gamble on whether or not you'll get an error page.
Did Spez pull a Musk stunt?
I had no idea lol I’m tempted to delete that account entirely but I do use it here and there for tech support
Same because the Fedora Linux subbreddit helps a lot for general odd stuff that happens
with all the Linux people here you can't get answers? I would think if there is anything lemmy would be great at it would be that. I can see googling Reddit archives but you don't need the app for that.
How oblivious do you have to be to not realize Reddit does a way better job on updates and reliability?
No dude, this is Lemmy, where the most interesting thing to talk about it how we're not on Reddit.
Not that I think about it, it's kinda like how Redditors used to circle jerk over not being on 9gag or iFunny.
maybe for u lemmy.world nerds. i havent had downtime in a long while now
Weird. I got a message that my account was temp locked for "unusual activity."
