Lemmy Support

Yeah, happens all the time with all kinds of different instances. Just do yourself a favor and set-up an account on at least three but preferably around eight different instances and then maybe if you're super lucky you'll always be able to find at least one that's up and running when you want to get on.

Also, one of my big gripes is that so many Lemmy instances have various uptime monitoring services in place, but then when you check those while the site appears to be down, they almost always indicate that the site is fully operational and just fine. Those things are close to being useless, anecdotally speaking.
