what do you mean lemmy is down? the thing is decentralized
Yesterday on boost it was 503-ing like it had a head office.
Lemmy.world was down. Instance was having server issues I think
I really need to find a similar enough server to put an alt on
sh.itjust.works is a good option. Based in CA and run on green energy.
Alternatively make a Piefed account and try it out.
Main instance for that is piefed.social, and there’s Piefed.world run by the same team as Lemmy.world, but different instance admins I believe.
Any time Lemmy.world goes down, I get reminded I should check my sh.itjust.works notifications more often when looking at months old replies to comments I made the last time it was down when I wanted to use it.
I never even bothered finding a good instance when signing up, just took the first one after searching for security and everything has always worked perfectly
lemmy.world skill issue
Yep, I keep a couple guest accounts setup on other servers when it goes down so I can just grab my memes elsewhere in the meantime.
lemmy.horwood.cloud is up most of the time
Is this what we have come to.
Dude… SAME
Nice thing is you can make an alt on a different instance for times like this, or to just try out a different instance.
For example sh.itjust.works is a great Lemmy instance based out of Canada that uses 100% renewable energy. There’s lots of other great instances out there too.
Check out https://join-lemmy.org/instances for a list of options.
Try piefed.social or piefed.world if you want to try out Piefed instead of Lemmy. Similar experience with some quality of life improvements.

Why, thank you good person that is nice to know! 😃👍
I know how you feel. My main instance used to be sdf.org 😭 .
