Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

I guess you need to do some more research on how Lemmy works.

You can follow any community from any instance. For now you could create an account at some lesser populated instances, I had one on lemmy.ml, made another account on monyet.cc. It's a minor inconvenience that you have to subscribe to communities but other than that my experience with lemmy has been very good.
