I was on midwest.social and they were having some federation issues. I decided to try out PieFed instead of another lemmy instance. So far I have tried kbin (RIP), lemmy and now piefed.

Same! Also a good opportunity to check out different Threadiverse clients.

[-] dumples@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago

It's good to have options and try out different clients to see what you like best

Happy to have you here of course, but I hope midwest.social is doing alright! I like that crowd.

We are ok. The admin is fighting scrapers.

State of the internet. Ugh. Well, happy to hear it's not being abandoned. :)

[-] dumples@piefed.social 1 points 4 months ago

As mention the admin is fighting scrapers which is blocking some larger instances. I still have an account

Same, with multiple Lemmys (Lemmies?:-P) - I think many of us share a similar journey.

It's good to see what is out there. Helps you get used to different views and let's you keep using the verse if an instance goes down

Absolutely - CloudFlare issues keep striking randomly but somehow every time it does, at least one of my prior alts is still working. It is ironic that I left them for their technical issues (extreme slowness) but now turn to them for reliability at a later date! :-P

That's how distributed systems work. Easier to take down one but harder to take them all down
