Would it make sense to create my own instance just to host my account and avoid all maintenance and down times of instances?
I had the same thought, just so I could be a community of one and host just enough to create an account and port it over via federation
I meaaaan. I’m sure the maintenance isn’t being done just for the fun of it. Presumably if you ran your own instance it would just be you doing the maintenance instead of somebody else.
Not to mention, Lemmy.world admins have said it’s mostly been due to ddos attacks. What’s to stop the people ddosing them to turn their sights on smaller instances?

I don’t think they are doing it out of some deep-seated hate for Lenny.
I imagine they are script kiddies looking for attention and bringing down your instance with one or two users probably isn’t on their radar or worth their time. I seriously doubt little “single-user” or even slightly larger instances will ever be targeted
But I could also give myself a cool address.

Tired of the problems of large instances? Join the small instances alliance! 😎
Or even better: host your own so you can be the reason the instance is down.
It’s bad enough self hosting a Discord bot and getting yelled at randomly when it goes down
Host my own? In this economy?
You don’t need to rent some big shot cloud hosting system. You can literally run it on a Raspberry Pi or a virtual machine on your existing computer. If it’s just you on there, even that is overkill.
But think of all the IT security you can ignore.

Never again…
Is there an easy way to transfer subs to another account?

Thanks!
Perhaps this or this? I’ve not used either myself, but I’ve seen the first one mentioned a few times
We have room for more over at https://thelemmy.club!
We even have built in Voyager at app.thelemmy.club - and MLMYM (an old.reddit clone) at old.thelemmy.club
Aaaaand it’s down again.
I tried suggesting to someone to move to another instance. I got accused of pushing an “agenda”, lol. Is lemmy.world reaching Reddit fanboy-ism mentality?
Meanwhile, me on kbin.social doing 90% of my reading and posting on lemmy.world.
Kbin’s odd, Is it a mix of Mastodon and Lemmy in one?
From what I understand, “Magazines” are Communities/Subreddits, “Threads” are posts in those Magazines, and Microblogs are the comments in those Threads? But you can Boost posts?
I’m curious how cross posting works between Mastodon/Kbin
As far as I can tell, “boosting” is like an upvote that carries across instances. The regular upvote/downvotes stay on Kbin. I haven’t even touched the “microblog” thing yet because I have no idea how to use it. But the rest is spot on.
Just tested posting on Kbin, it seems Boosting is singular to Kbin. Voting acts the same and shows the same number, boosting doesnt affect the vote count.
Maybe it’s more meant for integration with Mastodon.
Unless I’m wrong, any Kbinners are welcome to correct me
Thanks for the correction.
Hello me, meet the real me
I started with lemmy.world but haven’t used it since like the second day lol
lemmy.world is great to start on but I want to switch to a smaller but more local instance really. I dont know how to search for an instance thats in my region
This might help
What region?
There are lots of tools that list instances but ultimately it might be better to ask for opinions.
Im thinking that too, southeast US
Memes here have been really good 😂🤣
We must endure so that future generations may benefit!
I unironically how I think about it.
Thank you for your service

Lol you commented twice, I assume shit didn’t work and you didn’t see the first comment go through
Imma blame that on Connect 🤫
It’s like every half day at this point
