      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.

            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).

            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 😂

      Just an anecdote, but I’ve been waiting for (I think) close to 36 hours for the email verification to complete my sign-up there. Since there’s no way to resend it, I’ve been stuck in sign-up limbo.

          I’ve tried creating two accounts with the same issue. One with a Gmail address and one with a Fastmail account. Neither has received a verification email. I’ve checked the spam folders on both too.

            Hello from my new account at sh.itjust.works. I just created this, you can check my profile. I used a temp email: temp-mail[dot]org

            After you sign up, you can change the email to some random invalid email so your account is safe from getting hijacked via password reset through email. Changing email doesn’t require re-verification as far as I can tell.

            Perhaps your IP got flagged for some reason. Are you using a VPN or Tor? Those may trigger some spam filters. Is your network a public one? (Eg: University, Hospital, Workplace, etc.)
