Memes about the Fediverse.

Rules

General
  1. Be respectful
  2. Post on topic
  3. No bigotry or hate speech
  4. Memes should not be personal attacks towards other users
  5. We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
    • Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
  6. This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

unless it's my home instance, and then I have a sad

Just go to a different instance website...

I guess blocklist and sub feed are missing but i just use All anyways

You'll also lose access to messages, notifications, and saved posts/comments.

How many Lemmy messages are that valuable?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You don't want to miss any important messages from Nicole.

I feel seen☺️.

Export your stuff and import it into your other account every so often, i cross export and import to all my accounts so I don't have to remember which account i saved what post

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That doesn't help with notifications and messages.

[–] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

No it doesn't, but since the instance i was on before died it's something I lost but at least I had the rest of my stuff

Meh, you can always browse another instance or pick a new instance to register at as a backup.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

Some apps have "guest accounts" that you can use to lurk while upgrade downtime on your instance

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

in my whole (last I checked) 8 months on Lemmy I've never had to move instances because of downtime, even temporarily 🤷‍♀️

My instance had a few hiccups after it was started, but they were resolved quickly enough.

But it's disingenuous to pretend that an instance going down is something the fediverse is immune to. If we had account portability or something similar, then maybe.
