Which instances are good for backup Lemmy accounts?
Out of curiosity, where do you have your backup account in case of outage or shutdown of your home instance? This has been on my mind since the .ml fiasco started.

The only way right now is using tools that migrate your settings from one account to another such as this one https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Thank you for posting this. Instance shopping is kind of cumbersome if you have to seek out all of your communities on each one...
Thanks for this. It's good to know. I also wonder which other instances have people found helpful for creating a secondary account.
I have my secondary account on lemmy.sdf.org . Their uptime speaks for itself and they federate with almost every other instance. SDF is also a great project in itself.
I don't remember hearing of SDF before. It looks like a project that's right up my alley. Thanks!
You can use https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list to make a decision. Usually I filter by 1m (monthly active users) and then test them for ping
