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.
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
unless it’s my home instance, and then I have a sad
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 🤷♀️

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?
You don’t want to miss any important messages from Nicole.
I just got one all the way over on PieFed.
I feel seen☺️.

That doesn’t help with notifications and messages.
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
I’ll share my alts with you 🥺
I think I have like 4 alts that I haven’t used more than once or twice just in case something happens to my main or lemm.ee.
Meh, you can always browse another instance or pick a new instance to register at as a backup.
