At least the mall of Reddit is open 24/7.
That new mom and pop down the road seems to close at random times during the day. 😉
-
It’s like Walmart. Open 24/7 but full of shit garbage and shit people.
-
The Walmarts near me haven't been open 24/7 since the pandemic. Definitely still full of garbage and shitty people, though.

You can use less overpopulated server

The instance I use is ran by a bunch of Unix nerds, so I'd expect them to wear their uptime as a badge of honour. I suspect there's probably a sweet spot for instance size, where it doesn't hit the biggest scaling problems, but big enough to justify the ongoing effort, rather than obviously being a one-man shop that will vanish when his cheque to Digital Ocean bounces.

Ahhh, defending reddit because lemmy.world is the target of constant ddos attacks? Just go to a different instance. Lemmy's not closed. A single entrance is just being blocked by assholes who support billionaire-owned platforms.
-
It's like a mall where the main entrance is closed for construction, but all the other entrances, including the entrances through different stores, are all open.
-
It's more like a mall where the main entrance is being blocked by dipshit reactionaries and trolls picketing in front of it.
-
I used the construction analogy because they are at least trying to fix the DDOS issues, or at least that's what I've heard.

Is lemmy.world really that bad?
Lemmy.ca went out, like, twice in the time I've used it.
-
As a .world user, it's had some instability. Though in general I'd say it has okay uptime for a somewhat startup, volunteer enthusiast run content aggregation & discussion platform.
-
You can always poke at https://status.lemmy.world to see how things are going 😁

It is, loads for me about 70% of the time.
Very annoying to use.

What's making you stay on lemmy.world?
-
already have an account, don't want to go through the hassle of transferring it and recreating my subscriptions
-
There are tools to easily migrate your account now. It's pretty effortless.
