Awesome. I will have to check that out and make backups if that server pops back up. Thanks.

I assume once all these apps get fully fleshed out functionality like this will be added and automated into client software to make it easier. Backing up/load bearing would probably be something that could be federated among instances of different servers too to prevent things like this from having much of an effect on users, no?

The devs have definitely said there will be an official way to backup your account and import into another at some point, but I don't think they've decided what exactly what would be like. Lots of possibilities with varying degrees of difficulty.

Yeah, it’s all a bit janky right now, but that’s kinda part of the charm. I like watching things grow and evolve.
