    Does anyone know what’s going on with Lemmy.ml? I can’t access it and keep getting 502 errors when I try to check it on browser. Hopefully they’re just working on their server because that was the instance where I had subscribed to stuff. It won’t be a big deal if they’re just gone, just an inconvenience.

    If they are gone, already, it is somewhat worrying for the viability of Lemmy generally, because I don’t want to lose my subscriptions and comments every time a server shuts down. I’ve made an account on beehaw and lemmy.world as well under the same username, and I probably will make ones under other popular instances just in case.

      Probably a better choice is UNpopular instances. Smaller ones. People who don’t quite grasp the federation concept are flooding in from Reddit, joining the larger instances out of FOMO, and overwhelming them.
