At this point, many people have been bailing from the server due to the uptime issues. What’s the rub?

    I wish the admins would come out and give an update as to what is going on.

    I wish I could migrate my account to another instance.

      You can, sort of.

      Use LASIM to download your subbed communities next time lemmy.world is up. Make a new account on another instance. Upload your communities to the new account with LASIM.

      Unfortunately, posts/comments don’t go - but you can do like me and just leave a trail between your accounts (if you care enough). I just link to and from my old/new accounts in the bio each time I make one. It’s a little janky, but it works - and it’s better than waiting hours for lemmy.world to be up for 12 minutes before going down again.

          Lemmy Account Settings Instance Migrator

          It’s a tool that basically just allows you to download a list of communities you’re subscribed to, which is good to have as a backup if your instance ever goes down.

          There’s also an upload option for if you make a new account someplace else, which can take that backup of your communities and subscribe the new account to all of them automatically, rather than starting from scratch.

      There is a status page that tracks the downtime, it’s not totally detailed but gives a bit of information about the problem they’re dealing with. The last 2 days of logs are particularly bad 14+ hrs of partial downtime.
