The instance I use is ran by a bunch of Unix nerds, so I’d expect them to wear their uptime as a badge of honour. I suspect there’s probably a sweet spot for instance size, where it doesn’t hit the biggest scaling problems, but big enough to justify the ongoing effort, rather than obviously being a one-man shop that will vanish when his cheque to Digital Ocean bounces.
As a .world user, it’s had some instability. Though in general I’d say it has okay uptime for a somewhat startup, volunteer enthusiast run content aggregation & discussion platform.
Ahhh, defending reddit because lemmy.world is the target of constant ddos attacks? Just go to a different instance. Lemmy’s not closed. A single entrance is just being blocked by assholes who support billionaire-owned platforms.
It’s like a mall where the main entrance is closed for construction, but all the other entrances, including the entrances through different stores, are all open.
At least the mall of Reddit is open 24/7.
That new mom and pop down the road seems to close at random times during the day. 😉
You can use less overpopulated server

Is lemmy.world really that bad?
Lemmy.ca went out, like, twice in the time I’ve used it.

It is, loads for me about 70% of the time.
Very annoying to use.
What’s making you stay on lemmy.world?
already have an account, don’t want to go through the hassle of transferring it and recreating my subscriptions
There are tools to easily migrate your account now. It’s pretty effortless.
