Thanks for sharing this, don’t mind the downvotes

Have a look at other threads in the community

Interesting

Ha ha ha

Thank you! 😄

If one of them changes their implementation, compatibility breaks.

And that’s why you want a healthy spread of users across both (and even a third one, one day) platforms. That way they have to keep compatibility with each other to not lose a major share of the userbase

That’s fine by me. Opportunity to do something else.

It does most of the time, to be honest

Probably a sign that the platform is getting more popular, nobody wants to DDoS a place without any users

Thanks for sharing!

Promising indeed!

Great, thank you for your work!

Interesting, which instance are you part of?

They still work for me, am I an exception?

So that’s the good thing, you have another admin (I don’t think you mentioned it at any point earlier, if you did, sorry I missed it), which is a good thing! You should probably insist on that when you promote your community

When I speak about redundancy, I speak about sysadmins as much as disk redundancy. Taking my hypothetical scenario, something happens to you, you are in the coma, there is a security breach (like the one from a few days back), is there someone to take care of it? I know it might be unlikely but as I said, the Vlemmy thing was very low probability and still happened

That’s very good, but what I’m saying is that people are getting cautious nowadays to make sure that their accounts can survive long term. I hope you’ll be well as long as possible, but what happens if something happens to you tomorrow? Who would take care of the servers? Do you have a redundancy plan? The success of LW as the main Lemmy instance is because the admins are experienced, and are a team. Some other instances are managed by non profits or long established groups. That can be a differentiator for choices.

Be also careful with potential users being cautious about you going out of business overnight. Vlemmy.net members had that happen to them last week.
