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.
Yeah, I agree. Choosing which instance to be the backup though, was a little hard lol
It's not, at least in regards to lemmy.world. it's so generic that it's easy to find another that has the same rules (ie, very few rules). It's better to use your backups than not. That's one of the reasons lemmy.world is down. Folks aren't spreading out. They're not taking advantage of the fediverse and are making a single point of failure where there shouldn't be one.
I can barely decide what I want for dinner lol don’t underestimate the power of indecisiveness. I also wanted to make sure I chose an instance that had decent admins and a domain not being reclaimed.
And I’d cut people some slack, lotta people are used to everything being centralized. It’s gonna take time for everyone to learn the wonder that is the fediverse. I’m more than willing to ride this bumpy wave as the fediverse grows
Usually, I just look at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, see which one has a decent amount of monthly users (1m) so that the All feed is still pretty full, and I check how is the ping
