Strangely, this is what makes the Federated system so much better than centralized systems. Lemmy.world goes down? No problem I can switch to one of my other accounts in an instant and keep going.
My thoughts exactly, and also it makes it a pretty useless thing to DDoS for what ever reason.
Lol I got home from work and opened Lemmy.world. page loaded fine but I couldn't upvote and the comments wouldn't load. Tried again after restarting firefox and same thing. Switched to Lemdro.id and continued like it wasn't happening.
