There’s been some downtime on Lemmy.World. I think this wont be the last time, as the amount of users coming in during the next month will be ginormous. That’s completely fine with me.
However, during that time, I couldn’t use the Fediverse because my access to the Fediverse comtes through logging in through my Lemmy.World user. (please correct me if I’m mistaken…)
So I get that Fediverse is decentralized. Anyone can create their own instances.
Which is the most reliable? Only time will tell? Or will this be made differently in the future?
only time will tell but there is no downside in creating accounts in 3 or 4 instances (or one for Kbin and one for Lemmy). It’s not only downtime but also defederation of instances or complete shutdowns why you should create some additional accounts.
