Fediverse

Looks like they’re having database migration errors and possibly didn’t let them complete. They may have gotten scared after the upgrade and then downgraded. If they upgrade to the new version and just wait, they should be fine.

When I first launched mine, I had a couple issues and have learned quite a bit going through it. I say pay attention to who’s running whatever ones you’re looking at and you’ll have a pretty good idea on the longevity.

It’s true that several instances (the ones hosted in Mali?) closed, but I think you’re premature in saying the smaller instances are disappearing, Lemmy.one included.

Sure, they’re bound to crash or go down for maintenance from time to time, but that doesn’t mean they’re finished. So far my experience has been that if you give it a couple days they’ll be back. Keep in mind these are shoestring operations and sometimes seeing major influxes of users.

I think mine will last for quite a while. Lemmy hogs so little resources, so long as I have my VPS it'll be up and running. Object storage is a potential in the future, but I am hopeful lemmy optimizes its image databasing as well. I am hopeful as lemmy grows my instance will grow as well as I feel there is a demand for a book/writing focused instance, but we will see. I'm gonna be here regardless.

No one really knows but I'd imagine the bigger ones the you see now like world ml kbin and others would stick around.

I kinda hope transferring data between two accounts on two different instances is easy. I don't really want a fresh start for the 13th time (this happened years ago outside of the fediverse, mostly thanks to forgetting my password).

My interests line up pretty well with my admin. I think that the instance should be pretty reliable as long as I want to keep using Lemmy.

Lenny.ca, hopefully. 🤞

I don’t want to figure everything out again.

LONG LIVE LEMMY.INBUTTS.LOL!
