If you are into backup accounts, try Hubzilla. They do not only implement ActivityPub to talk to Mastodon and other services, they also implement the zot protocol which allows for nomadic identities. You can clone your channel to another Server and log in from there.
You can do this with a hand full of servers all around the globe and have ever more certainty that you will be able to log in somewhere.
This helped me a lot when I still had to figure out how to set up my own instance to deal with the higher load when connecting to a number of new Mastodon users.
While I coud not access my instance's web frontend due to timrouts, I logged in through another server where I had cloned my channel and I could ask for help on the platform.
