I finally cracked today and moved to .ml
I started at .ml and came here afterwards.
.ml is a bit better stability wise (though it also had worse days..) and on top of that they have a slur filter. So if someone calls you 'bitch' ('bi.tch') all you see is 'removed' on lemmy.ml. While the entire rest of the fediverse can read what I just wrote :-/
Can I say cunt? Because if not that's a deal-breaker for me
Edit: looks like I can, all good
Wait, bitch is a slur, but cunt isn't?
Where I'm from cunt is a term of endearment so I'm happy .ml has embraced our culture
How come you're not on aussie.zone
Honestly, because the name sounds shit.. fucking Aussie zone.. who came up with that?
Well thats just removed
Glad that I can pick different instances
Same. Moved to lemm.ee
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.
I have 4 at the moment. Two normal and two porn account.
Different kinds of porn or…?
Gotta have the vanilla account you can use with your friends and family and the kinky one you hide.
You mean you don’t share you kink with fam?
Nah, one each for the two most popular porn lemmies. When one is down, I can go to the other. And when I run out of content on both, I can go to nhentai
Bows Your Majesty! I am honored.
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.
Lemm.ee only allows tiny image upload lol I'm having a hard time finding a good instance . ML has some lemmygrad BS I don't even wanna see
I think that I'll do the same. I really want to use Lemmy but the down time on this instance is becoming an issue for me.
You should rather move to a smaller instance than lemmy.ml. Remember, you can still interact with all other instances.
Hosting is hard, but we are largely getting this for free.
moved to lemm.ee for this reason. insane downtime levels
Same. Its straight up been more stable than reddit used to be lmao
If I'm only browsing top, I switch to .ml since I had an account there months ago
It's helping me take breaks so lemmy doesn't become a full on mindless addiction like reddit was so that's been good. Often not sure if it's world or my app (connect) most of the time but ah well.
Seriously, whats the uptime this week? Is it above 50%?
84.94% uptime in the last 24 hours.
Thats amazingly low.
I know it feels like its that often, but its actually still in the upper 90s atleast according to the status site, and its 89% for the last week on an external status page (which probably sees its up by attempting to load the page so its probably close to real life data)
The problem is the downtime is during the times a want to use it
Really earning the comparison to old reddit, ya know? I'm so proud
is there an account moving process like on Mastodon and Firefish or do we just have to make an account and move, leaving everything else behind?
There are tools that can move over your subscriptions (https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim) but you'll have to leave your posts & comments behind.
This is why people need to move to small instances. I moved to aussie.zone even though I am not Australian. The experience is so great and snappy that I love it.
Literally just changed istance from world for this exact reason.
Fax
I guess I don’t visit enough (once or twice a day). I’ve seen issues maybe twice since mid July when I joined.
Building my own instance was a great decision
And ofc it goes down again after... I use my own instance which means the only problem is half the instances are on .world so I can't access them when world goes down I wish people would use alternative instances more
