goddammit
i joined dxcomplex because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn't fold (and i liked the name);
then it folded so i joined .world because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn't fold (and i liked the name);
then it got massive so i joined lemm.ee because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn't fold (and i liked the name)
i'm starting to wonder if i'm cursed
Wtf go away
but what if going away makes it worse? .world's downtime has only increased since i made my l.ee acct
Well then, please post where you're gonna go next so we can avoid your trail.
well actually, i did recently make a backup acct. on lemmy.dbzer0.com...
Well that's not great for me then
Lol same, I joined FMHY first because I wanted in on a smaller instance. I now self host. Fool me once.
Now you’ll fold when you’re damn good and ready!
Exactly 😂
If you want an instance that almost definitely won't go under, sdf.org has existed since ~~1986~~ 1987 and has an instance at lemmy.sdf.org
actually i almost went for sdf instead of l.ee. the reason i didn't was that it seems almost too good to be true? i see so many sites around that proclaim they're hosted on sdf, the biggest text on their homepage says "create a free account" and yet there isn't a donate button
i realise there's one on their lemmy instance, and i might choose them if l.ee does fold, but i felt like i was taking advantage of something meant for others
I get your point, but I think lemm.ee is still so much smaller than lemmy.world that it’s not much of a problem (at least not yet).
yeah you're right, but i'm not (just) being funny when i said that - lemmy.world had only just started when i joined (10 days), still had the old (much nicer) icon and no banner, etc. it had 188 users / month, compared to .ml's (at the time) 1.8k and lemm.ee's (current, according to the above infographic) 3.7k...
actually this is incredible how fast it grew
