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
