Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

    Local communities are totally irrelevant when deciding which instance should host your account.

      Unless you pick an instance where the local feed is important to you. It can go either way.

        You can join any community on any instance from any other instance, as long as the admin hasn’t blocked it.

            … exactly?

            Someone pointed out an advantage of smaller instances and you were the one that said small instances have a problem (lack of communities), and I’m the one pointing out that your supposed problem does not, in fact, exist.

            TL;DR small instance good
