Im wondering what ways people advertise/grow their lemmy instances. I recently just created mine and would like to put it out there as one of the options. How did you discover your instance and what drew you to it?

    Well i dont have any non profit backing but as far as redundancy is concerned ive got that covered. But yeah i see your point and how it would affect user choice and confidence.

      When I speak about redundancy, I speak about sysadmins as much as disk redundancy. Taking my hypothetical scenario, something happens to you, you are in the coma, there is a security breach (like the one from a few days back), is there someone to take care of it? I know it might be unlikely but as I said, the Vlemmy thing was very low probability and still happened

        If i were to die today my instance would still continue. If both me and the other admin were to die at the same time then everyone is just shit outta luck at that point

          So that’s the good thing, you have another admin (I don’t think you mentioned it at any point earlier, if you did, sorry I missed it), which is a good thing! You should probably insist on that when you promote your community
