If you sort comments by upvotes in your app, you will see what happened as the top comment. But it was a temporary problem, no need to panic for that reason.

But I agree with others, users should spread out to more instances to help keep the fediverse healthy and other instances active. Otherwise we encourage Reddit 2.0.

I have never used lemmy.world myself, because it goes against the fediverse idea to flock together on the same instance.

I see, thanks! And I agree with you. I just picked .world bcs, being a former Reddit user, I had no idea where to get started and just picked one...

I did the same, and then later I made a new account

Same here, but it was really easy to just make a new account on a new instance. You never know when your instance will go down (like Lemmy NSFW or, more recently, piefed.social) so you might as well just make a new one and try not to get too attached to any particular iteration of your account. And besides, karma actually means nothing here!

Isn't there an export / import feature to aid in moving to a different instance?
