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!

I think mine will last for quite a while. Lemmy hogs so little resources, so long as I have my VPS it'll be up and running. Object storage is a potential in the future, but I am hopeful lemmy optimizes its image databasing as well. I am hopeful as lemmy grows my instance will grow as well as I feel there is a demand for a book/writing focused instance, but we will see. I'm gonna be here regardless.

No one really knows but I'd imagine the bigger ones the you see now like world ml kbin and others would stick around.

I kinda hope transferring data between two accounts on two different instances is easy. I don't really want a fresh start for the 13th time (this happened years ago outside of the fediverse, mostly thanks to forgetting my password).
