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.

    I thought the point was to join communities. Am I wrong?

      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
