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.

No, they absolutely do. The problem is generally affording scalability and high availability. Those aren't just free with the right code. Those are essentially features that need to be paid for by the instance owners. The fact that Lemmy works at the scale it's at is a sign that they pay attention to those things.
