    We have a uptime thats beyond reasonable, there were some smaller problems some days ago, but they just made things a little slower.

    And Lemmyml is full of tankies.

    There are however many other instances as well, being on many small ones eases the burden for all and makes single point of failure problems less likely.

      100% agree. I’m yet to notice programming.dev go down which makes sense when you consider the target demographic and that the admins probably fit right into it.

          I love how this is now similar to when people would have usernames relevant to the conversation in Reddit.

          Now, y’all just swoop in with the relevant instance 😂

          Once I made my non-world account here, Lemmy is like a whole new rock solid experience!

          Combined with the choice in apps, even though they’re still evolving, it’s great.

            Yeah, it’s incredible how your choice of instance can give you a completely different experience (in terms of stability). Still, you can sub to any community you want, so your instance is irrelevant, unless it’s defederated from a server you like.

              Yeah, I think there’s a sweet spot in using a mid sized instance such as this. It’s big enough to have a bunch of users hitting communities all over the fediverse, and to have some resources dedicated to the server, but small enough to have its own identity and not be a target.

              The magic happens because of how your home instance caches communities from other instances. So your experience depends on the reliability of the instance you’re using, but not so much the reliability of other instances(within reason).
