It is difficult or impossible to get it resolve because there is no contact point, nobody hired to fix issues that need immediate triage, etc... which can result in longer outages or bugs on specific instances.

I'm not complaining. This is a fantastic service that is being offered completely free from actual altruistic incentives, unlike corporations. There are a few downsides though.

Definitely, that's why I always prefer instances with at least two admins, and a Matrix room for status updates

That's great and all.

But feddit.de just became usable again after more than two weeks of being basically unusable - because the 19.0 and 19.1 releases of Lemmy were buggy and there was no downgrade migration possible on the database. No big corporation would break their product for two weeks like this.

Seems okay at the moment, at least !europe@feddit.de properly federates

Yes, it works now.

Version 19.0 and 19.1 were basically not working at all.

Yes, happy to be over that
