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

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!

Also joined lemm.ee after lemmy.one went missing. Wish I’d made backups of the communities I was following but it’s going well so far.

Yeah really wish they had profile exports in Lemmy. But I also wish they let you create custom lists, like Reddit with the custom subreddit lists. I used that extensively.

https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim allows you to export subscriptions and blocks. Worth using it from time to time to get a backup

Me too, I still miss browsing by category rather than a jumbled mix of a frontpage.

Firefish does have it in two forms (Lists and Antennas), but it's not an ideal interface for general browsing of a forum-style site like Lemmy.
