    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.

    Is there an easy way to transfer subs to another account?

    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.

    I love the interface here. But the content leaves much to be desired.

    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

    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

    What region?

    There are lots of tools that list instances but ultimately it might be better to ask for opinions.

    Hopefully someone finds this and can suggest something.

    I had a look on https://lemmyverse.net but there don't seem to be any location-based servers for the south east. Perhaps pick a general US-based server, or one themed around a hobby?

    Probably go to a few and check the local feed. The main difference between servers will be the local feed, so find a server where that's somewhat active and has content you want to see. I think it's a good idea to aim for a server with 500-5,000 users so the local feed is somewhat useful.

    Would it make sense to create my own instance just to host my account and avoid all maintenance and down times of instances?

    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

    Having an account on a downed is bad since if it's down it blocks your interactions everywhere. Log into another instance and use it. You still create content for that instance.

    That's another big question for the fediverse: if there should be privacy oriented instancies to register, other than those you visit. One Mastodone one was SWATed by FBI, so it'd be an organic development to disperse even further.
