    Unfamiliar with it, but in the regard of instances going down, specially after my previous main instance died with no signs of returning (again), if you find any interesting posts even on instances seemingly stable, I think it is a good idea to back up those pages. Personally, I would propose methods like Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine and its alternatives like Archive Today, the print to PDF option from browsers, and/or saving a given page as a MHTML bundle.

      Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine

      Seconded. They even have a Firefox extension which makes saving pages super easy, or even automatic if you want.

    I remember being really intrigued by Firefish a while back, but after attempting to use it a bit it was clearly not ready for casual everyday use. What’s the status on it/its forks? Does anyone use any of it, and have any recommendations?

      I use Sharkey instance as my main and it’s pretty good, it’s stays upstream with Misskey (Like Glitch-don stays upstream with Mastodon), so I feel like there’s a smaller chance of it being abandoned
