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

      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.

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

          Same ._. I have a kbin,piefed,LW alt but i used to have like three more. (including this account, used to be just an alt)

          I only ever use my piefed and LW alt, kbin is just there.
