Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

I've started a 2nd account on another instance just for situations like that.

How do you keep communities aligned across the accounts?

I made a tool that can help: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

It allows you to synchronize subscriptions, blocks, and profile settings between accounts.

(though FYI different versions only gracefully handle a specific API version at a time so there's some limitations right now as instances upgrade from 0.18.2 to 0.18.3 - see my comment here: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2094948 )

EDIT: Second link isn't working - must be a Lemmy bug. But you can see it as a recent post on my profile.

What API-breaking changes did you find?

A super minor one, but there's a new "infinite scrolling" boolean added to the user settings.
