There's been some downtime on Lemmy.World. I think this wont be the last time, as the amount of users coming in during the next month will be ginormous. That's completely fine with me.

However, during that time, I couldn't use the Fediverse because my access to the Fediverse comtes through logging in through my Lemmy.World user. (please correct me if I'm mistaken...)

So I get that Fediverse is decentralized. Anyone can create their own instances.

Which is the most reliable? Only time will tell? Or will this be made differently in the future?

People need to stop recommending the massive servers when everything's connected anyway.

Join/recommend some smaller ones at random instead, like lemmy.one, lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, and reddthat.com

Reading some of the comments here and also pondering the last half day - how much does it require to host an instance yourself?

Doing that: You are almost certain not to have your user data at risk? The server would always be up.

Could an instance not be hosted across devices? Encapsulated by a container that is synced to your other devices?
