There’s been some downtime on Lemmy.World. I think this wont be the last time, as the amount of users coming in during the next month will be ginormous. That’s completely fine with me.
However, during that time, I couldn’t use the Fediverse because my access to the Fediverse comtes through logging in through my Lemmy.World user. (please correct me if I’m mistaken…)
So I get that Fediverse is decentralized. Anyone can create their own instances.
Which is the most reliable? Only time will tell? Or will this be made differently in the future?
And that in itself requires knowledge and experience with the fediverse, exatcly the thing that new users don’t have. It’s a catch-22! This is why people are flocking to the site that is most established.
I am considering to host my own instance but I do not want my identity linked to that domain, so…
