I was on midwest.social and they were having some federation issues. I decided to try out PieFed instead of another lemmy instance. So far I have tried kbin (RIP), lemmy and now piefed.

Same! Also a good opportunity to check out different Threadiverse clients.

It's good to have options and try out different clients to see what you like best

Happy to have you here of course, but I hope midwest.social is doing alright! I like that crowd.

We are ok. The admin is fighting scrapers.

State of the internet. Ugh. Well, happy to hear it's not being abandoned. :)

As mention the admin is fighting scrapers which is blocking some larger instances. I still have an account

Same, with multiple Lemmys (Lemmies?:-P) - I think many of us share a similar journey.

It's good to see what is out there. Helps you get used to different views and let's you keep using the verse if an instance goes down

Absolutely - CloudFlare issues keep striking randomly but somehow every time it does, at least one of my prior alts is still working. It is ironic that I left them for their technical issues (extreme slowness) but now turn to them for reliability at a later date! :-P

That's how distributed systems work. Easier to take down one but harder to take them all down
