Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time?

Wu9fee@lemmy.ca to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 169 points –

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!

On one hand, a Sonic hacking forum I've been a part of since before its current forum software has been running the same database since 2003, on the other hand I fully acknowledge that it's the exception and not the rule.

So have other forums. Maybe it’s just these newfangled social media websites that have longevity issues?

Because they crave more growth rather than prioritizing stability and being true to what they're purpose of existence is. These social media forum try to be everything and that is their downfall. Being focused on what you were built for and being damn good at it is the real key to a platform's long life.
