For hours today, yesterday, and intermittently since I've been on here (a month or so) lemmy stops loading using jerboa, liftoff, and a web browser.

The site isn't listed on any down detector I know of, and each app gives different errors but ultimately just won't load.

It's often enough that recently when I consider jumping on here I just don't because there will probably be an issue. Ranging from not loading, JSON errors, or just blank screens and my comments not working..

What's going on? Is there a status page for these places?

I bailed on them for now and made an account on a much smaller instance so everything loads again. Thankfully with federation you can still see all the same content, you just need to set up subscriptions again on the new account if you choose to go that route.

I got a few new people on my instance that specifically said they wanted a smaller instance while Lemmy.world had issues.

I think there are like 1100+ instances now. No reason to hang out on the largest one unless you absolutely have to.

Once you have two or more accounts, it's just a click in the mobile client (Jerboa, Liftoff etc) to switch profiles. Takes a second.

You will have to set up your subscriptions to communities again though on a new account. That can be annoying but kind of worth it.

My list of blocked porn communities is more than double my list of subscribed communities; reblocking would be the biggest pill.

I saw someone suggest Connect for Lemmy yesterday, Android app that has both instance blocking and keyword filtering. Overall the app is fine but until I find something I love that supports the filtering it's more than sufficient.
