Coprocentralized
Fixed it for ya
Waiting for the moment we go P2P.
P2P Lemmy would be AWESOME! 😎
iirc, p2p activitypub is possible.
Also, check plebbit.
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
Some apps have “guest accounts” that you can use to lurk while upgrade downtime on your instance
Just open a different one…
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?
You don’t want to miss any important messages from Nicole.
I just got one all the way over on PieFed.
I feel seen☺️.
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
That doesn’t help with notifications and messages.
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
in my whole (last I checked) 8 months on Lemmy I’ve never had to move instances because of downtime, even temporarily 🤷♀️
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.
Meh, you can always browse another instance or pick a new instance to register at as a backup.
I’ll share my alts with you 🥺
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.
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.
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.
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.
I wish .world would publish their hardware, I’ve been quite curious as to what they’re running on lol
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…
And wordpress support
It’s nice that so many clients offer a guest account so I can at least lurk when my instance is down
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?
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.
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
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.
Does anyone else have a SFW account and an NSFW one?
I think it’s just you.
(sweats uncomfortably)
I think you underestimate people’s laziness
fuck the corpos
I just touch grass
Inconceivable
