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?

The main feature of a federated system is that there’s no one “owner” of the entire system; each admin uses their own servers and their own domain names. There’s nothing stopping a server admin from using a .com domain name…
There’s basic TOTP 2FA now: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2363 but it hasn’t been released yet (it’s only available in the latest server beta). “Next-gen” TOTP (Webauthn/FIDO) is coming later: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3059
You should get to know your server admin, then. You have the freedom to pick any server you like :)
