I finally cracked today and moved to .ml

I have like 10 accounts across 10 instances, all with the same username. If 1 is down, I just go to the next, and still have access to all my subs.

Maybe a stupid question but if I sign up on a different instance, do I need to add all my subs again?

This is a genuine question. Unfortunately we have to manually sub to each community from each instance. Seems like Sync got a sub migration feature under development (for Ultra users). This should be Lemmy's default feature.

It's me again but from a different instance since lemmy.world is having problems again... I added the new account to the Connect app and sadly my communities don't seem to transfer.

Thanks your reply

I don't actually know. Probably? I use Sync, back up my primary, and loaded it into all my other instances for the same exact view, and it looks like it added all my faves and subs as well. At least from my perspective on my sidebar. It's entirely possible it just copied what's in the sidebar over, and not my actual subscriptions. Just lets me access them if I "restored" from a different account.
