The only way right now is using tools that migrate your settings from one account to another such as this one https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Thank you for posting this. Instance shopping is kind of cumbersome if you have to seek out all of your communities on each one...
Thanks for this. It's good to know. I also wonder which other instances have people found helpful for creating a secondary account.
I have my secondary account on lemmy.sdf.org . Their uptime speaks for itself and they federate with almost every other instance. SDF is also a great project in itself.
I don't remember hearing of SDF before. It looks like a project that's right up my alley. Thanks!
You can use https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list to make a decision. Usually I filter by 1m (monthly active users) and then test them for ping
I just have my own private instance, saves me worrying about data ownership

Kinda depends on your familiarity with hosting! I just have a docker setup
If you know your way around a terminal, it takes less than 10 minutes to install using the Ansible approach.

its not bad at all, just the rust based backend and the nodejs based ui and it only needs postgres and a reverse proxy like nginx to send traffic to the right place.
That's like 4 technologies to set up, thank god there's docker and nginx proxy with acme companion xD
I'm thinking someone could just sell "fediboxes", plug n play servers with hosted lemmy, ddns and a free domain for lazy people
you should see kbin , I had a poke at that the other day and it needs php, postgres, nginx, mercure, rabbitmq, supervisord and also nodejs.
I got close, but I couldnt quite get things working the other day. Had it to the point I had an ugly unthemed version up some of the time.
I would pick an instance that is local/regional to you or one that is based on a specific interest area.
In my case I went with aussie.zone
I'll take a look at the closest regional. Given where I'm located in the US, though, I suspect that the Local feed would be all but unbearable to me.
I fled to aussie.zone after Vlemmy went down

Funnily enough, under this post in my feed, is a post that says Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works are DOWN. Lol

Good suggestion. Thanks!
I made a Mastodon account to see when lemmy.world has trouble. I don't really like it, so I also made a lemm.ee account.
I have a Mastodon account, but I do seem to spend most of my time here. I’ll check out lemm.ee for a secondary account. Thanks.
Speed: something closer. Search: big instances. Lots of communities would have been subscribed to.
Big instances probably will be bigger targets for hacks. Smaller instances may be likelier to disappear.
I think you’ve summed up the major considerations nicely. It seems I’m probably looking for something middle-of-the-road in all regards.
Hi there! I hope you're enjoying NSQ. Will you please rephrase your title so that it is in the form of a question? It's rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting.
My bad. The sidebar isn’t visible by default on mobile. Taking care of it ASAP
No problem. Thanks for fixing it.
What .ml fiasco?
Mali’s government have taken direct control of their national TLD. Several .ml websites have been taken down in the aftermath.
Oh, shit.
Thanks for responding!
You’re welcome. And good luck!
