Weird to think what happens when you lose a site you visit on a regular basis. I can understand the whole instance going down but us users just get lost when things get turned off. There's no way to know what happened, why or when or if anything will return.
I had to resurrect my old lemmy.world account to figure out what happened. I guess we have to hang on to two or more unique instance accounts in case our main instance goes down.
Stay well guys and I totally appreciate the admins of lemmy.ca and all the work they do. I'll patiently wait and look forward to seeing it online again.
At least it’s not like Reddit when the website goes down you can’t use it at all.
I keep trying to open the lemmy app on my phone out of habit.
I did that five times before remembering I had an old account on this instance that I could switch to to post the question and see what communities I used to be subscribed to.
It feels shitty and I was doing the same thing all day. I had to resurrect my lemmy.world account just to get back online. It's made me realize that I should maintain both accounts for shut downs like this. And now I'm also having to do more in maintaining my Mastodon account too.
