My instance had a few hiccups after it was started, but they were resolved quickly enough.
But it’s disingenuous to pretend that an instance going down is something the fediverse is immune to. If we had account portability or something similar, then maybe.
unless it’s my home instance, and then I have a sad
Just go to a different instance website…
I guess blocklist and sub feed are missing but i just use All anyways
You’ll also lose access to messages, notifications, and saved posts/comments.
How many Lemmy messages are that valuable?
Some apps have “guest accounts” that you can use to lurk while upgrade downtime on your instance
Meh, you can always browse another instance or pick a new instance to register at as a backup.
in my whole (last I checked) 8 months on Lemmy I’ve never had to move instances because of downtime, even temporarily 🤷♀️

I’ll share my alts with you 🥺
I think I have like 4 alts that I haven’t used more than once or twice just in case something happens to my main or lemm.ee.
Same ._. I have a kbin,piefed,LW alt but i used to have like three more. (including this account, used to be just an alt)
I only ever use my piefed and LW alt, kbin is just there.
