Lemmy world goes down more than your mother.
I finally cracked today and moved to .ml
I started at .ml and came here afterwards.
.ml is a bit better stability wise (though it also had worse days..) and on top of that they have a slur filter. So if someone calls you 'bitch' ('bi.tch') all you see is 'removed' on lemmy.ml. While the entire rest of the fediverse can read what I just wrote :-/
I think that I'll do the same. I really want to use Lemmy but the down time on this instance is becoming an issue for me.
You should rather move to a smaller instance than lemmy.ml. Remember, you can still interact with all other instances.
Hosting is hard, but we are largely getting this for free.
moved to lemm.ee for this reason. insane downtime levels
Same. Its straight up been more stable than reddit used to be lmao
If I'm only browsing top, I switch to .ml since I had an account there months ago
It's helping me take breaks so lemmy doesn't become a full on mindless addiction like reddit was so that's been good. Often not sure if it's world or my app (connect) most of the time but ah well.
Really earning the comparison to old reddit, ya know? I'm so proud
This is why people need to move to small instances. I moved to aussie.zone even though I am not Australian. The experience is so great and snappy that I love it.
Literally just changed istance from world for this exact reason.
And ofc it goes down again after... I use my own instance which means the only problem is half the instances are on .world so I can't access them when world goes down I wish people would use alternative instances more
is there an account moving process like on Mastodon and Firefish or do we just have to make an account and move, leaving everything else behind?
There are tools that can move over your subscriptions (https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim) but you'll have to leave your posts & comments behind.

Building my own instance was a great decision
I guess I don’t visit enough (once or twice a day). I’ve seen issues maybe twice since mid July when I joined.
