Suggestion: Have more than one mastodon account, and have them on different instances. This way, if one instance goes down for maintenance or updates, you can just use your account on another instance. I have this account on social.privacytools.io and I also have another account on maly.io.
This even came in handy once.
@nar I am doing this 😁 Although this is still my primary account.
@Wetrix All right 🙂
If you're going onto maly.io, I can give you an invite.
@nar oh hey! Thx for the other 😁 what is the fed about?
@Wetrix It's more of a privacy focused instance. Here's their description on joinmastodon.org:
This community is hosted by Naido, a Belgian privacy-aware service provider
Here is their about page: https://maly.io/about/more
@Wetrix All right! I'll send you an invite.
