    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.

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

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

        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
