Down for me as well
I really enjoy boost.
In Germany on a hetzner dedicated server.
You(and everyone else) are welcome at endlesstalk.org.
I prioritize uptime and have setup monitoring to notify, if anything goes down(See here). I have no problem banning/defederating Nazi’s and the like, but I generally don’t take action unless, an instance/users aren’'t following the rules. I’m open for requests and discussion though.
Currently I’m the only admin, but I’m in the process of changing the setup of the site, so other admins would be able to fix the site, if anything should happen.
My instance endlesstalk.org is hosted in Germany via Hetzner, so that should fit the bill.
Defederations are only done, when it would have a negative effect on the instance’s users, but I’m always open to discuss, if anyone disagrees with a deferation.
Anyone is welcome to join my instance at endlesstalk.org. Its running on a pretty beefy server, so it can take a decent amount of users.
There are multiple frontends like lemmy.world and I have setup a seeder(lemmony), so the all feed should be pretty filled.
About 2 months, 62 comments, 17 post. The post are mostly server updates for my instance though.
Still a big improvement over reddit though, since I just lurked there. Think I have more comments now, than in all my 9 years on reddit.
For a very small instance(10 users), you can try mine at endlesstalk.org. It also has multiple frontends hosted like lemmy.world and many others.
Otherwise I would recommend lemm.ee, lemmy.sdf.org and lemmy.zip
It is on my to-do list, but it would take some work to add support for multiple people to have access to everything required and I would also need a lot more documentation, than I currently have.
There are tools that can backup and migrate communities, blocks and settings like lasim for a user. So you can migrate between instances.
As far as I know, there aren’t any tools that can migrate comment history and I think anything that could do that, would need to be backed into lemmy itself(Which it isn’t currently).
Everyone is welcome to join my small instance at endlesstalk.org. I have also setup the same alternative UI’s as lemmy.world, if that rocks your boat!.
Yeah, until there are better tools than defederation to limit communication between instances. Might take a while though and I think they only said they would re-evaluate it, so no guarantee(more detail in the link above)
I have hosted a lot of my own services for a couple of years and plan to continue hosting my instance(endlesstalk.org) indefinitely, unless something very major happens.
As others have mentioned I think multiple admins and backups(hard to verify though) are a good sign, but its only indications and you can’t really be sure, if a instance will be there forever. I think there needs to be an easy way to migrate accounts and then the instances going down hopefully gives a notice, so you can move your account.
Gonna be difficult to recover accounts from instance going down without a notice I think. You could regularly take a backup of your account, but that is tedious and you will still lose some data.

My instance(endlesstalk.org) is very small, but you are welcome there.
I think most instances besides beehaw.org are federated with lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. So you should be able to look at join-lemmy or lemmyverse for servers to join.
If you want to check if a instance is defederating a specific instance, you can go to /instance on the instance and look under Blocked Instances
I’ll recommend my own instance at endlesstalk.org. There you can create a community, if you want. lemm.ee or sh.itjust.works might also allow creating of new communities, but I haven’t checked.
I have a younger sister and we get along fine. We take a couple of vacations together with our father each year and also meet up once in a while, when it is possible.
Usually, it is correct, that the all feed would be smaller on a small instance, but “seeders”, like lcs or lemmony can make the feed in all tab much larger.
It does this by subscribing to a lot communites. Lcs does for specific communities and lemmony subscribes to everything. You can see an example of an all tab with many subscriptions(added via lemmony) at my instance
I think the easist way to check, if an instance uses one of these seeders is to check the number of subscriptions in the instance. Or just ask the admin for the instance.
