This is the way. Users should try to spread themselves out when possible so that any one instance doesn’t get overloaded.
I keep 2 alt accounts (on different instances) in case my main account goes down.

I’m debating spinning up my own instance. I plan to cycle through accounts every so often like I did on Reddit (used to be 1-2 years), so I’ll probably just change instances when I do.
For now, this instance seems to work well, so I’m sticking to it.
Pxtl@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
imho this reflects a huge failure of the fediverse. Our accounts shouldn’t be tied to an instance that’s hosting content, they should be on a an auth-only server that only is responsible for managing our identity, separate from the content-servers. Then it would be up to content-servers to decide how much content they want to federate about an identity to show on that user’s profile-page on this particular content-server.
Wouldn’t it be cool to have the same identity on Mastodon as on Lemmy?
Then you could continue to participate in the fediverse without creating a new user-account on every server. Of course, the auth servers would still be vulnerable to outage but since they’re lower load and just providing auth they’d be much less vulnerable.

Well done!

Thank you! :)

This is the way

I created this account on a different instance yesterday because I was having the same problem. Looks like I’ll be using it today too. Always good to have a backup.
DangerToad@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Yeah, I agree. Choosing which instance to be the backup though, was a little hard lol
Blaze@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 year ago
Update: lemmy-status.org
Seems quite useful right now
s6original@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s been down for two and a half hours at this point. I hope they’re able to resuscitate. Always good to have a side instance.

It’s back up now

Blaze@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Ah great, seems like it’s back online!
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
The page loads, but there seems to be an issue with backend. So the status page doesn’t report anything.
Pandantic@kbin.social 1 year ago
I’m still not able to load anything in the webpage or my apps.
ElDuderino96@kbin.social 1 year ago
It’s still down despite what that page says. I haven’t been able to get in all morning.
Nero@discuss.online 1 year ago
That instance goes down a lot it seems. Wonder why.
Blaze@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
It’s the most one by far (27k monthly users vs 4k for the second one): lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
Nepenthe@kbin.social 1 year ago
And even knowing that, it's still the one everyone advertises. Drives me insane. Is federation between that and the smaller lemmy instances still janky or something? Because if it's not, there's little to no reason.
formatc@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
They should disable signups for a while to allow the user load to start distributing more evenly across other instances.
Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 year ago
It’s really been slow lately. Not blaming them, no one expected Reddit to implode and introduce a higher influx of users! But if possible, we should all sign up and browse from less overwhelmed servers; you still get all the same content!
radicalrusty@kbin.social 1 year ago
It was working fine for me, and then today it was extremely slow. Maybe because of continuing influx of users?
Anyway, does anyone know of a way to transfer communities to different instances?
someguy3@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Think it’s down. Is that why hot is full of different communities?
47_alpha_tango@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Seems to happen every weekend. It’s why I moved my communities to a different instance. Everyone seems to join lemmy.world and it just can’t cope.
ruud@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Bored script kiddies have time in the weekends when they are allowed screen time by their mommies. Then they create scripts to bombard our server and grind the thing to a halt. Gives us the opportunity to improve things like rate limiting etc every time, but also means some downtime…
TORFdot0@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You guys are doing fine ruud, I don’t have as much time to waste on the weekends so I didn’t even notice the down time
SamXavia@kbin.social 1 year ago
@Blaze Glad I moved to Kbin then, I heard that it had issues but didn't release the whole site was just gonna go down like that.
Blaze@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 year ago
Alternatively, you can look up for smaller instances (use the 1m column for active users in 1 month): lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
I personally prefer to use Lemmy as the federation with Kbin can still be a bit clunky at the moment

Kbin currently has better filtering/blocking options if that's something you care about.

Raw deal

Seems like there's a lot of instances struggling. Props to all the admins out there fighting to keep their stuff running (and don't forget to decentralize!)
