Out of curiosity, where do you have your backup account in case of outage or shutdown of your home instance? This has been on my mind since the .ml fiasco started.
Hi there! I hope you’re enjoying NSQ. Will you please rephrase your title so that it is in the form of a question? It’s rule 1 in the sidebar. Thanks for posting.
I have my secondary account on lemmy.sdf.org . Their uptime speaks for itself and they federate with almost every other instance. SDF is also a great project in itself.
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]
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community space dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All posts titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That’s it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content. Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

What .ml fiasco?
Mali’s government have taken direct control of their national TLD. Several .ml websites have been taken down in the aftermath.

I would pick an instance that is local/regional to you or one that is based on a specific interest area.
In my case I went with aussie.zone
I’ll take a look at the closest regional. Given where I’m located in the US, though, I suspect that the Local feed would be all but unbearable to me.
I made accounts in lemmy.world
lemmy.fmhy.ml
lemmy.dbzer0 (home of r/piracy related communities)
Trying to avoid .ml instances.
The only way right now is using tools that migrate your settings from one account to another such as this one https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Thank you for posting this. Instance shopping is kind of cumbersome if you have to seek out all of your communities on each one…
Thanks for this. It’s good to know. I also wonder which other instances have people found helpful for creating a secondary account.
I have my secondary account on lemmy.sdf.org . Their uptime speaks for itself and they federate with almost every other instance. SDF is also a great project in itself.
I don’t remember hearing of SDF before. It looks like a project that’s right up my alley. Thanks!
You can use https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list to make a decision. Usually I filter by 1m (monthly active users) and then test them for ping
