This has really made me lose faith in a defederated system like this.

@Anyone: please let me know if I'm wrong about these and if there's a solution, but as far as I can see:

I can't export my account (most importantly all the posts and comments I've saved).
It's difficult to find where a server is based.
Some instances seem to be solo hobby projects. I don't want to pick another instance that is at risk of being killed.

The lack of account mobility is really a huge problem with the fediverse, you lose all your stuff if you move to another instance.

If you want stability sdf.org (lemmy.sdf.org is their Lemmy service) has been around for decades

This thread tells how to export and import your favourites, posts, comments

You're being down voted, but I feel you. It's why I picked one of the largest instances when I joined, despite what other Lemmings tend to tell people to do. Picking a small instance is a bad idea because they die out like that. I've seen several fairly significant smaller instances die out at this point. I don't want to wake up and my account suddenly vanished one day because the host forgot about it.

I really liked shitjustworks but once I found sdf I loved it more both are good though

Lemmy.world is the largest instance, for what it’s worth.

Tried registering with lemmy.ml but it seemed the weight and burden of my user was too much to deal with. Registration denied with no justification so it seems this instance is not welcoming new users.

Successfully registered with Lemmy.zip instead and they seem welcoming of Lemm.ee refugees.
