We have a uptime thats beyond reasonable, there were some smaller problems some days ago, but they just made things a little slower.
And Lemmyml is full of tankies.
There are however many other instances as well, being on many small ones eases the burden for all and makes single point of failure problems less likely.
100% agree. I’m yet to notice programming.dev go down which makes sense when you consider the target demographic and that the admins probably fit right into it.

Just an anecdote, but I’ve been waiting for (I think) close to 36 hours for the email verification to complete my sign-up there. Since there’s no way to resend it, I’ve been stuck in sign-up limbo.
I’ve tried creating two accounts with the same issue. One with a Gmail address and one with a Fastmail account. Neither has received a verification email. I’ve checked the spam folders on both too.
