View the site in Reader view (click on the “AA” in the lower left of the screen). It removes everything but the text of the site, including ads, blockers, almost all membership requests, etc.

Another user here that had set up VLemmy as primary instance. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to back up subscriptions and how to do due diligence on an instance to make sure that it is more credible/stable?

I have relaunched on Lemm.ee, and want to make sure that I am prepared for this happening again!
