There is a status page that tracks the downtime, it’s not totally detailed but gives a bit of information about the problem they’re dealing with. The last 2 days of logs are particularly bad 14+ hrs of partial downtime.
Comment on What has been up with lemmy.world lately?

I wish the admins would come out and give an update as to what is going on.
I wish I could migrate my account to another instance.

You can, sort of. Use LASIM to download your subbed communities next time lemmy.world is up. Make a new account on another instance. Upload your communities with LASIM.
Unfortunately, posts/comments don’t go - but you can do like me and just leave a trail between your accounts (if you care enough). I just link to my old account in the bio of each new one I make.

Lemmy Account Settings Instance Migrator
It’s a tool that basically just allows you to download a list of communities you’re subscribed to, which is good to have as a backup if your instance ever goes down.
There’s also an upload option for if you make a new account someplace else, which can take that backup of your communities and subscribe the new account to all of them automatically, rather than starting from scratch.

github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases/tag/v0.2.1 download the relevant zip and export your Lemmy.world stuff, you can then import it to any other Lemmy instance.
