I was looking for a PieFed instance (since I knew about it) to sign up for, just in case, for some reason, my Lemmy account was to suddenly disappear (either by my own volition or otherwise). I had one on Thriv, but HAL had to fix an OOM issue regarding some Postgre nonsense that took Thriv offline for a few days.

Good to see Thriv is back, I was wondering what happened there.

I had since deleted my Thriv account (and nuked everything), because I didn't trust it'd be online for long. That's why I chose Feddit (and an author I associate with [I also write] originally used it before I let them know about some quirks with the Lemmy instance I use). I think HAL must've been stressed trying to fix it, so I just made things easier for him... hopefully.
