Out of curiosity, where do you have your backup account in case of outage or shutdown of your home instance? This has been on my mind since the .ml fiasco started.
I just have my own private instance, saves me worrying about data ownership

I did the same. Lemmy-Easy-Deploy made thinhs easy.

I made a Mastodon account to see when lemmy.world has trouble. I don’t really like it, so I also made a lemm.ee account.
CaptObvious@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have a Mastodon account, but I do seem to spend most of my time here. I’ll check out lemm.ee for a secondary account. Thanks.

I would pick an instance that is local/regional to you or one that is based on a specific interest area.
In my case I went with aussie.zone
CaptObvious@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ll take a look at the closest regional. Given where I’m located in the US, though, I suspect that the Local feed would be all but unbearable to me.

It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this. lemmy.fediverse.observer/map

I fled to aussie.zone after Vlemmy went down

Speed: something closer. Search: big instances. Lots of communities would have been subscribed to.
Big instances probably will be bigger targets for hacks. Smaller instances may be likelier to disappear.
CaptObvious@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think you’ve summed up the major considerations nicely. It seems I’m probably looking for something middle-of-the-road in all regards.

Hi there! I hope you’re enjoying NSQ. Will you please rephrase your title so that it is in the form of a question? It’s rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting.
CaptObvious@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My bad. The sidebar isn’t visible by default on mobile. Taking care of it ASAP

I made accounts in lemmy.world
lemmy.fmhy.ml
lemmy.dbzer0 (home of r/piracy related communities)CaptObvious@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Trying to avoid .ml instances.

The only way right now is using tools that migrate your settings from one account to another such as this one https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

Thank you for posting this. Instance shopping is kind of cumbersome if you have to seek out all of your communities on each one…
CaptObvious@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Thanks for this. It’s good to know. I also wonder which other instances have people found helpful for creating a secondary account.

I have my secondary account on lemmy.sdf.org . Their uptime speaks for itself and they federate with almost every other instance. SDF is also a great project in itself.

You can use lemmy.fediverse.observer/list to make a decision. Usually I filter by 1m (monthly active users) and then test them for ping
