      I started at .ml and came here afterwards.

      .ml is a bit better stability wise (though it also had worse days…) and on top of that they have a slur filter. So if someone calls you ‘bitch’ (‘bi.tch’) all you see is ‘removed’ on lemmy.ml. While the entire rest of the fediverse can read what I just wrote :-/

        I have like 10 accounts across 10 instances, all with the same username. If 1 is down, I just go to the next, and still have access to all my subs.

          Maybe a stupid question but if I sign up on a different instance, do I need to add all my subs again?

            This is a genuine question. Unfortunately we have to manually sub to each community from each instance. Seems like Sync got a sub migration feature under development (for Ultra users). This should be Lemmy’s default feature.

              It’s me again but from a different instance since lemmy.world is having problems again… I added the new account to the Connect app and sadly my communities don’t seem to transfer.

              Thanks your reply

            I don’t actually know. Probably? I use Sync, back up my primary, and loaded it into all my other instances for the same exact view, and it looks like it added all my faves and subs as well. At least from my perspective on my sidebar. It’s entirely possible it just copied what’s in the sidebar over, and not my actual subscriptions. Just lets me access them if I “restored” from a different account.

      I think that I’ll do the same. I really want to use Lemmy but the down time on this instance is becoming an issue for me.

    It’s helping me take breaks so lemmy doesn’t become a full on mindless addiction like reddit was so that’s been good. Often not sure if it’s world or my app (connect) most of the time but ah well.

    This is why people need to move to small instances. I moved to aussie.zone even though I am not Australian. The experience is so great and snappy that I love it.

    And ofc it goes down again after… I use my own instance which means the only problem is half the instances are on .world so I can’t access them when world goes down I wish people would use alternative instances more

    is there an account moving process like on Mastodon and Firefish or do we just have to make an account and move, leaving everything else behind?
