It seems like they are down for a longer time now. How will they recover? Does longer down mean they will have to do more catching up with other instances? Can I get updates somewhere?

Sites don’t store passwords, they store password hashes. There is no reason to give any personal info you aren’t comfortable giving. You can use the site just fine without posting any
Hacking an account is still a valid concern though for various reasons , and hashes can still be used against password lists. Additionally, Two factor authentication is a necessity for sure. Now don’t get me wrong, I completely understand this feature is coming and that this is a developing service but many of these concerns do seem valid to me.
Let’s assume you’re doing the best practice thing and using a long and unique password for each service you use.
What benefit does a hacker have hacking your lemmy-based account? Considering that everything you post is public… There’s simply nothing of value that you would obtain by “hacking” an account here… The only thing I can think of is if your a moderator of a community or an admin of an instance.
I just don’t see any value to it… But even then… 2fa is slated for v0.18 which is probably coming out in the next few weeks.
