I really want to see a data viz of whether/how much users are spreading out. Anyone got the data on user counts over time by instance?

No I mean there’s some weird bug in Memmy. My second account went down and I had to reinstall Memmy to access my first one

Until that other one goes down, then memmy really struggles to let you in. At least that’s what happened to me.

Have you figured out an efficient way to mirror your community subscription list between them?

It’s true that several instances (the ones hosted in Mali?) closed, but I think you’re premature in saying the smaller instances are disappearing, Lemmy.one included.

Sure, they’re bound to crash or go down for maintenance from time to time, but that doesn’t mean they’re finished. So far my experience has been that if you give it a couple days they’ll be back. Keep in mind these are shoestring operations and sometimes seeing major influxes of users.

 

The Lemmy.world hack made a good opportunity to explore other instances out there. Found one based in my area. Back in action!

You’re right. It only just came up in my feed but it’s old. I’ll take my comment down to avoid confusion.

Lemmy.World is back up and the admin who got hacked is claiming it’s fixed. However, REMAIN CAUTIOUS. No other admins have confirmed that it’s fixed. Could easily be the hacker pretending to be the admin.

Lots of discussion happening over on kbin. It’s not clear if any user data has been stolen but some commenters are doubtful. The most important thing is we should not trust links on that site as they could be malware.
