Lemmy.world down, probably following the upgrade. A reminder to move to smaller instances for a better experience

You can also just have multiple accounts. I have one on lemm.ee just for this reason.
Definitely!
Yeah, I have .world where I first signed up. It occasionally had some issues so I added another that I just mostly read on if the other isn't working
It'd be nice to export/import subscriptions but I'm sure eventually the servers will get past it
You can use that script https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
I'm afraid that as long as you have to go to github and run such scripts for these things, Lemmy will stay a nerd-only place.
Hopefully it gets integrated into the website at some point
I learnt my lesson to have multiple accounts after vlemmy
That was my main. The instance vanished faster than cotton candy being held by a raccoon standing in a pond.
Oddly specific, but very accurate
It's funny, at this point I don't feel like I even have a main account. I just randomly pick an instance every time I go Lemmying
Same, I have accounts on lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, and Kbin.social.
I don't remember Kbin having an API, so that might explain why
I'm trying to pick ones with meaningfully different aims so that I can try to keep some sort of separation in my head. Otherwise I'd quickly lose track of what conversation having where, with whom and why.
I forgot that I had a lemmy.ee account and set up my own instance a few days ago while lemmy.world was down.
Right now it’s just a free Google cloud VM instance and a $3/year domain. It was super easy to set up with Lemmy-Easy-Deploy and I’ll never have an issue with going down. I’ll either be busy looking through Lemmy, or busy trying to figure out why it went down!
Is there a readily available tool that can export/import community subs? I have two accounts on different instances but would like them to have to same subscriptions
I've not used it myself but heard good things about https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Does this work on android?
I don't think so, you might be out of luck there.
Awesome, thank you!
