It’s not, at least in regards to lemmy.world. it’s so generic that it’s easy to find another that has the same rules (ie, very few rules). It’s better to use your backups than not. That’s one of the reasons lemmy.world is down. Folks aren’t spreading out. They’re not taking advantage of the fediverse and are making a single point of failure where there shouldn’t be one.
Usually, I just look at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, see which one has a decent amount of monthly users (1m) so that the All feed is still pretty full, and I check how is the ping
Yeah, I agree. Choosing which instance to be the backup though, was a little hard lol
