(lemm.ee lying dead slightly offscreen)
:(
We’re elated to be back in business. Brace yourself, my shitposting itch has gone unabated for a while now.
I’m ready.
But my sandworms will die!
The spicy memes must flow!
back to the meme mines with you
Feelsbadman, I feel like we were just starting to grow too :/
Wait, what? For real?
fiddles with some buttons
WHEW!
Man it sucked being stuck in that transporter buffer.
What am I, chopped liver?
Shhhhhh. You wouldn’t import my settings and I was too lazy to re-create. But I have made a fresh backup and I’m going to try again. Right after I get off of the toilet.
That looks suspiciously like the phaser that killed @[email protected] 🤔
Hahaha I think our alts all got some attention last week. I switched to a more local one rather than interest based, so it was actually cool seeing more geographically relevant posts.
It’s given me more appreciation for the other instances of lemmy overall.
Still, so great to be back on my main!!!
It’s like the Hobbit taught us: traveling is good, but coming home is better.

We’re back!!!
I also learned that from this post
You guys are the best. Thanks for the warm welcome back.
This post was actually how I learned slrpnk.net was back online.
But I was assured by entitled assholes that going down for a few days would be the absolute end of the community and it would never bounce back… I was assured it was extremely irresponsible bordering on criminal negligence for a hobby forum to not have at least three global points of presence each staffed with 24/7 on-call engineers.
Glad they’re back
So happy to be home again ^^
Welcome back, and I agree!
YAY!!
Slrpnk.net was my first Lemmy server! I had absolutely NO IDEA how it worked, but I was motivated by my recent departure from Facebook and Twitter.
When they went down, it kinda felt like when you go to a party with someone and it’s all their friends, and then your date vanishes into thin air, and your choices are leaving the party or making awkward convo with a rodent of unusually large size by the punchbowl…
huh? Even with the context I don’t get it.
The slrpnk.net server went down and the admin wasn’t able to physically get to the server to fix the issue. It appears it came back up quicker than anticipated.
thats pretty cool, slrpnk really has some good content and good beans.
Much quicker, I think they were talking like July lol
Aaah, now that’s good context. Thanks Blaze.
> huh? Even with the context I don’t get it.> Aaah, now that’s good context. Thanks Blaze.It’s literally the same context that was linked to in the post?…unless the post was edited to contain the dbzero link after your post. If that is the case, my bad.edit: yes, that’s it. Mb, ignore this.
edit: yes, that’s it. Mb, ignore this.
continues to stare at this comment. Its okay ma dude :D
Great news!
Woool our friends are back!
Not being able to participate anywhere on Lemmy merely because my home instance was down didn’t feed very federated :(
Is there anything I can do to guard against that issue in the future? Is there a way to mirror an account between two instances or something?
Anyway, big props to the slrpnk admins for getting the instance back online quicker than expected. Your hard work is definitely not unappreciated or unnoticed.

Open an alt, export/import your settings
I have alts. No automatic sync, but you can list your alts in your profile like I do.
On mobile make sure to use a client which makes it easy to switch between accounts (I use Thunder, which additionally shows server status in the account switcher!)
It’s possible to export your Subscriptions, Community/instance blocks, and saved posts/comments to an account on a different instance by exporting your account’s JSON file, which you can do in your Account Settings page.
You can then import the JSON file in that same area on your alternative backup account, so that your experience is uninterrupted. Personally I would recommend making a backup account on Sopuli.xyz or Lemmy.cafe, they’ll give you the most similar vibe due to how their instances are set up.
