Oh, it's up again.

We must endure so that future generations may benefit!

I unironically how I think about it.
Thank you for your service

Tired of the problems of large instances? Join the small instances alliance! 😎

Or even better: host your own so you can be the reason the instance is down.
- Host my own? In this economy?
- cries in selfhosted email server
- It's bad enough self hosting a Discord bot and getting yelled at randomly when it goes down
We have room for more over at https://thelemmy.club!

We even have built in Voyager at app.thelemmy.club - and MLMYM (an old.reddit clone) at old.thelemmy.club
Is there an easy way to transfer subs to another account?
- https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
- Perhaps this or this? I've not used either myself, but I've seen the first one mentioned a few times

Aaaaand it's down again.

I tried suggesting to someone to move to another instance. I got accused of pushing an "agenda", lol. Is lemmy.world reaching Reddit fanboy-ism mentality?

Meanwhile, me on kbin.social doing 90% of my reading and posting on lemmy.world.

I love the interface here. But the content leaves much to be desired.
- Kbin's odd, Is it a mix of Mastodon and Lemmy in one?
  
  From what I understand, "Magazines" are Communities/Subreddits, "Threads" are posts in those Magazines, and Microblogs are the comments in those Threads? But you can Boost posts?
  
  I'm curious how cross posting works between Mastodon/Kbin
I started with lemmy.world but haven't used it since like the second day lol
- lemmy.world is great to start on but I want to switch to a smaller but more local instance really. I dont know how to search for an instance thats in my region

It's like every half day at this point

Would it make sense to create my own instance just to host my account and avoid all maintenance and down times of instances?

I meaaaan. I’m sure the maintenance isn’t being done just for the fun of it. Presumably if you ran your own instance it would just be you doing the maintenance instead of somebody else.
- But I could also give myself a cool address.
- Not to mention, Lemmy.world admins have said it's mostly been due to ddos attacks. What's to stop the people ddosing them to turn their sights on smaller instances?
I had the same thought, just so I could be a community of one and host just enough to create an account and port it over via federation

Shit just works 😎

Lol you commented twice, I assume shit didn't work and you didn't see the first comment go through
- Imma blame that on Connect 🤫

Shit just works 😎

Memes here have been really good 😂🤣

@ruud@lemmy.world

Having an account on a downed is bad since if it's down it blocks your interactions everywhere. Log into another instance and use it. You still create content for that instance.

That's another big question for the fediverse: if there should be privacy oriented instancies to register, other than those you visit. One Mastodone one was SWATed by FBI, so it'd be an organic development to disperse even further.
