Coprocentralized

Fixed it for ya

I just gotta say, this is the coolest part of the feddiverse by far.

Problem: I don't want to stop doom scrolling.

Solution : Doom scroll on another instance!

unless it's my home instance, and then I have a sad

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You don't want to miss any important messages from Nicole.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago

I just got one all the way over on PieFed.

I feel seen☺️.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] sbv 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

That doesn't help with notifications and messages.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] TriflingToad 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

in my whole (last I checked) 8 months on Lemmy I've never had to move instances because of downtime, even temporarily 🤷‍♀️

[–] sbv 3 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I'll share my alts with you 🥺

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Waiting for the moment we go P2P.

P2P Lemmy would be AWESOME! 😎

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

iirc, p2p activitypub is possible.

Also, check plebbit.

I'm just happy they exist. Thanks admin team. Yeah it's better for the long run if we haveany instances, but it's very nice they have this service for free. Lemmy world is cool.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

It’s always a good idea having multiple accounts. Not for smurphing, but honestly just for having a backup option if there’s performance or connectivity problems.

Every once in a while I recommend backing up your subscribed communities and importing it into your secondary account as well, just in case.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

World users will finally have access to things the rest of us have grown accustomed to (like I don't think world has alt text support). Also, one hour downtime is mighty ambitious (esp with the controversial rank recalculations), must have some mighty server hardware.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

I wish .world would publish their hardware, I've been quite curious as to what they're running on lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Just an hour? We here on SDF used to have around a week of random downtime each time with older versions.

I must bring bad luck. Like half the time it failed a minute or two after I logged in...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

And wordpress support

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago

It's nice that so many clients offer a guest account so I can at least lurk when my instance is down

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It is kinda weird that they have to take the entire site down at once to do maintenance. It still is spread across multiple servers, so why couldn't it be rolled out in a way that only the smallest possible fraction is down at a time?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

The Lemmy docs do go cover a bit on rolling releases, but it's not recommended for large jumps or any upgrade that involves a database migration

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

with db migrations the database structure changes. it's not possible to do db schema migrations without downtime unless the application has been built with that in mind and the application is able to run with a partially upgraded schema.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe they don’t want to complicate things trying to go with 0 downtime? Even though depending on how proper their infra is that might not be that hard.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does anyone else have a SFW account and an NSFW one?

I think you underestimate people's laziness
