I run my own single user instance, and it was down as well. Not sure why someone would target a single user instance. Not ruling it out, but it seems unlikely.
All instances using federation are publicly visible and it’s simple to script attacking all of us.
However it’s even easier to just attack Lemmy.world since almost everyone is there and it will have maximum disruption on everyone. People have centralized on one server. :)
But it’s just some denial of service attacks right now. Eventually they probably get tired of it too. There is no point to it really.
The experience is pretty good except for discoverability of new communities. My Subscribed and All feeds are the same. I started with the official local development docker-compose file and massaged it into place for my setup.
Ah, yeah that could be problematic. Maybe I’ll hold off until accounts can be migrated, and port this one over to expand the content. Start subbing to everything I even tangentially like 😅. Tho maybe they will fix the discoverability issue - sounds like it happens kinda a lot.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
If you wanted to get help with moderating your own community then head over to [email protected]!

I’m thinking about doing this for making my main account, since I never look at my local feed anyway.
How’s the experience? And do you know of a good starting point?
