At this point, many people have been bailing from the server due to the uptime issues. What's the rub?

You can, sort of.

Use LASIM to download your subbed communities next time lemmy.world is up. Make a new account on another instance. Upload your communities to the new account with LASIM.

Unfortunately, posts/comments don't go - but you can do like me and just leave a trail between your accounts (if you care enough). I just link to and from my old/new accounts in the bio each time I make one. It's a little janky, but it works - and it's better than waiting hours for lemmy.world to be up for 12 minutes before going down again.

    Lemmy Account Settings Instance Migrator

    It's a tool that basically just allows you to download a list of communities you're subscribed to, which is good to have as a backup if your instance ever goes down.

    There's also an upload option for if you make a new account someplace else, which can take that backup of your communities and subscribe the new account to all of them automatically, rather than starting from scratch.
