How many instances have you been orphaned from?

Pouring out some ones and zeros for:
vlemmy.net
lib.lgbt
libre.video
cheeseburger.social

My first instances were mastodonlol and kbinsocial. Guess I was unlucky.
RIP kbin
- I miss it... I never knew how much I'd appreciate seeing who down voted me. Occasionally I'd think, 'hmmm this guy with opinions I respect didn't like that? Why?' more often I'd think 'hahaha nazi'
  
  You can still see that on https://lemvotes.org/
  
  Mbin is its continuation.
Just lemm.ee
Zero, because when I decide to join a fediverse network, first thing I do I set up a single user instance:
https://toot.jeena.net/
https://tube.jeena.net/
https://piefed.jeena.net/
https://git.jeena.net/ (they are working on activity pub)
https://jeena.net/ (indieweb)
- nice. I need to do the same on piefed.
- Same. Although sometimes I set up a public instance, because I'm setting one up for myself anyway, right? And then I have regrets LOL
kbin.social
- I remember hearing about it. How big was it, in comparison to the others?
  
  For a brief moment it was one of 10 largest Fediverse instances by MAU. I dont't remember now, if it was not larger than even lemmy.world
  
  I liked it, but now there's mbin. I remember it being pretty big though.
Two. kbin.social and kbin.run (which was actually an Mbin by the time it vanished).
- Same for me, looks like us diverging for the third one saved it :-D
thankfully, none
feddit.de
I was on lemmy.film.
An instance can defederate a user? Is that what you're saying?
How would I find out?
- No, I'm talking about instances that just disappeared without a trace. Maybe I'm just unlucky. (or maybe I'm bad luck for instance owners)
  
  Well, that explains why your first link is dead. Thanks for the explanation! I haven't been around this long; db0 is my first instance. I'm not that crazy, I just looked at them and said "damn that's wild, you know what you crazy SOB, I'm in." Like the meme... Futurama? Rick and Morty? Not sure.
None, i selfhost :)
Two: lemm.ee and a PixelFed instance whose name I am blanking on rn.
It's OK, I learned how to migrate and moved to PieFed, so win-win. 👍
RIP dubvee.org, it was a beautiful dream.
geddit.social was technically my first Lemmy instance (although I used /kbin earlier and more than this). Owned by Stux (mstdn.social, pixey.org, gram.social,...) but it was late for lemmy.world-like growth.
trivia: Stux tried also to make a /kbin instance, (along with other prominent Mastodon instance owners. Only Fedia.io, from infosec.exchange survived. Kudos for Jerry). He has called it forum.fail
Just lemmy.org.uk for me.
Iusearch.fyi , too bad, the name was cool
Just one called lemmyunchained
