Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time? (lemmy.ca)

I had an account on lemmy.one and now the instance has been down for a day or two so I made this new account. I also heard other small instances are dead or disappeared.

So which ones do you think will actually stick around for a long time?

ALSO, does anyone know how to get my subscriptions from lemmy.one and import it here? TIA!

How many GB is your filesystem/database as a single-user instance?

Not the person you ask, but as I'm in the same boat (finally got everything running except email lol), I use a scrap dell PC with a 8gen hexacore, 512GB SSD, 4TB HD & 8GB RAM on a 1Gb/~700Mb line 🤷 I'm aiming at an artsy/comics drawings server (hence some initial space) and I think I'll open it up for inscriptions when I have figured out the OVH mail config...

But it's a big step, today if it crams it's just impacting me.

Cheers!

I don't host my own instance but that sounds immensly overpowered for the job! Lemmy doesn't even host images and pure text, a database and web interface shouldn't be that hard to host
