There's been some downtime on Lemmy.World. I think this wont be the last time, as the amount of users coming in during the next month will be ginormous. That's completely fine with me.

However, during that time, I couldn't use the Fediverse because my access to the Fediverse comtes through logging in through my Lemmy.World user. (please correct me if I'm mistaken...)

So I get that Fediverse is decentralized. Anyone can create their own instances.

Which is the most reliable? Only time will tell? Or will this be made differently in the future?

I'd make accounts in a couple. I made one in a big instance, one in a smaller one (so I can still federate with places like beehaw and I don't feel like I'm contributing to the stress on lemmy.world), one in NSFW lemmy instance (since other instances tend to defederate from those), and one in kbin.social. I think I'll make a mastadon account, too, but I haven't yet.

The small Lemmy instance I joined is on links.dartboard.social if you want to join that one, too. The admin said he was planning on keeping it open for a long time, for the foreseeable future. The mobile apps like Connect, Jerboa, and Liftoff make it easy to switch accounts, too.
