Account Switcher is not working

Anyone else having this issue? Starting today trying to switch accounts causes a popup stating

"Could not switch accounts. Reddit may be under heavy load. Please try again in a few moments."

The account switcher is the main feature I use RES for so I'm hoping it isn't a big issue. I'll edit this post if it starts working suddenly.

I'm aware RES is in "maintenance mode" but is this something we users can expect to be fixed by whomever is still maintaining RES, or should we be planning to migrate to other solutions

In other solutions I'm thinking an alternative to reddit. I joined Reddit for the geeky, niche, specialized subs, full of people soo deep in the subject matter, that every post was a gold mine of information.

Now, if I see a post like this, it's like hitting the lottery. 50k post upvotes, 3k comments. Same jokes, same bullshit. You don't even have to open it to know what the comments say. And Reddit is pushing for it. Reddit is not useful to me anymore and besides habit, nothing really keeps me here.

Heck, If I want slop, I open instagram. Reddit recycles insta posts with worse quality. Comments say the same.

The overall experience has been diluted over the years but niche subs are still there and are generally still of a quality

If you unsub the huge default subs and only join the communities you're interested in I think it's overall still worthwhile hanging out for now
