For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

12 years of reddit. It will take some time to adjust but I also switched from google to duckduckgo years ago after decades of google, and then too never looked back. Lemmy does need a LOT of work, still, but so did reddit in the early days..

To those working on Lemmy, please don't fuck this up for us. Don't be a spez.

They kinda can't be a spez, by design. Just make sure you make backup accounts on all the other instances, and use them occasionally

How does one make a backup account on another instance?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I mean literally just register your account again. Maybe subscribe to the communities you like on each account if you have the time to, but if not just reserve your username on each and have them saved in your password manager and ready to go in case of a break-glass incident.
