Cuz you can just use another smaller instance, as you should.
Lemmy.zip and lemm.ee are cool
Everyone talking about how small and better lemm.ee is really starting to give "have you heard about this hidden gem The Witcher 3?" vibes.
lemm.ee isn't even that small. It's the 6th largest active lemmy instance iirc
That's kind of what you want, though. A big enough operation that it probably won't just disappear or start enforcing really arbitrary and unreasonable rules, but small enough that it's not like lemmy.world.
For all the people that like to talk about having access to the whole fediverse and decide for themselves who to block...
mander.xyz and ttrpg.network are both rather niche instances in their own right, but don't defederate, and I don't believe are defederated by, anyone.
No one join them and say/do anything toxic though, don't ruin a good thing for me lol
I'm actually seeing more and more .world users getting pissed as the downtimes become more frequent now.
Careful, you might have to interact with spooky scary communists if you switch it up!
I mean that is the problem of too many people being on that one instance.
I moved instances after the downtime when Sync came out, it's been smooth sailing since
I just did the move. Tired of having the website offline and no info. Will delete the account soon
IF you want to switch to an alternative instance use the tool Lasim to synchronize your accounts: synchronize subscriptions, settings and/or blocks. Tool is available for Windows, Linux and MacOs.
Tbh I've just stopped using my world account at this point. Lemmy.ca has been much more reliable so far lol.
I started at lemm.ee because I knew that signing up to the biggest instance was a bad idea. We have pretty good uptime and it doesn't seem like lemm.ee has been wrapped up in any of the drama of the bigger instances.
As long as it's filmed for the content. Need to feed the meme machine.
Understandable since one is a government funded
psyop running on servers in the basement of the FBI building. The other is Reddit.
Ayyyyyyy.
I use my dad's basement to store my server computer and I have a lemmy instance there. And my dad works for the FBI as a janitor (he's old so he bought the house for cheap).
Can confirm, I'm the bartender at the FBI (Fred's Burgers & Iced Tea, we're still working on the acronym though).
I work in the same department on the HexBear server, someone clogged the toilet again (whoever it is uses way too much toilet paper, they just keep wrapping), Anyways to save space we keep our Lemmy instances in the bathroom and the shitwater got to it.
I switched to lemm.ee, it's much more stable since it's not constantly being attacked by script kiddies. I have a theory a user got banned, and is making it their personal mission to ruin .world's performance. Please donate to your home instance owner(s) if they have that set up. Even if it's just a little, it can make everyone's experience better.
That wouldn't surprise me, I've seen ddos's against smaller servers over dumber things.
But given that they preemptively ban instances for not supporting NATO and the IMF and don't preemptively ban nazi, transphobe, and pedophile instances, fuck em.
The fediverse is weaker if .world is allowed to color people's perception of Lemmy.

*removed externally hosted image*users who wanted LM explanation :
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Is that info publicly available?
LW is currently down (for me, at least) and I'm curious if it tends to happen at the same time every day.
From the sidebar of the main page of lemmy.world, so :
