        That’s definitely true. And community moderators should consider at least trying to move their communities to smaller servers. Now that they’ve got some bigger subscriber numbers.

      Not really. There are multiple instances which limits the chance. I assume some are able to access reddit too. Also, I’ve had more unreliability with Lemmy as its small servers and the code has often required restarts to fix issues.

      Lemmy is fallible, just like anything else.

        What I mean is that since Lemmy is decentralized, the entire network can never be down. A few instances can be down, and your particular instance can be down, but the entirety of the network can never be down.

          The entire network can be down. Its just harder as there is some built in redundancy. I’m sure reddit also has built in redundancy.

          When my local instance is down, I use my alternate. Its much worse as its not as curated. Sure, there are apps to help sync them now but my instance is now reliable enough that inhavmt bothered.

          I think it’s important to be realistic in the capabilities of Lemmy in looking at competing services.
