lemmy instances be going down

Yeah, we need to spread out a little more. Fediverse is not about having centralized concentrations that can be targetted.

Ideally every minor Instance could have one major community located there, that could serve as the central space for that particular community. That's pretty impossible of course, but it paints the picture.

I highly recommend spreading out and creating accounts on other instances. Whenever one instance has issues or something, I just use another. That's the strength of the fediverse.

Plus, you might find (or create) some cool local posts, which helps spread out content.

truly tragic, communities should have never centralised on the top instances.

I guess I'm lucky to be on lemmy.ca, but it's concerning that a lot of the popular stuff is located on two servers. What's the point of the fediverse, then?

When I'm sorting by all, instead of local or subscribed communities/magazines, everything I see comes from lemmy.world. It looks like Kbin/Sopuli/Beehaw are just a desert, until you sort by local and, aleluyah, there is updated content.

Don't subscribe to lemmy.ml, the owner is a pro CCP. I unsubbed from all .ml communities.

Yeah, after what happened to VLemmy I decided to start my own instance, that way as long as I maintain it I know for a fact that it won't just go down.

spread out and no problem

While other instances are down, sh.itjust.works

Kbin go brrrr

I had to jump on my Kbin. I should probably create a 3rd account just as another backup.

I understand why there are many servers, but why is there no central single sign on for many servers? Same with syncing community's over instances.

I'm new so not sure why or why not.

Alright so I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff....I'm on the shit works instance, so does that mean I can see all the stuff on the others when I go too ALL or are the all different?

I'm on Lemmy.world and everything seems fine? I'm so confused.

And this is why i think forums are a much better fit for the matrix protocol, it really doesn't make much sense to use activitypub for this.

They are?
