I'm asking new joiners because I know it can be confusing at first to see issues with content discoverability, instances unavailability, people migrating accounts, etc.

It's ok, except for when it's down. I assume it's something to do with .world

    Lemmy.world suffers from DDOS attacks for the last couple of days, hence the reason for downtimes.

    Yeah Sync hasn't gone done yet, it's been the instance which lately is lemmy.world being the target of DDoS attacks. When that happens I switch to an alternate account and things are running fine again, so it's not Sync related.

    Good to hear! Regarding the availability, you might want to change to another instance temporarily. You can use https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim to move your subscriptions and blocked instances.

    In terms of suggestions, the choice depends on where you are located (for latency issues). Most of the regional instances (lemmy.ca, feddit.de, feddit.uk, midwest.social etc.) are usually good choices.

    For generalist instances, Lemm.ee, reddthat.com and sh.itjusts.works are usually solid choices
