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!

Here's a thread where I helped someone else with the process on windows: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/1420339
The steps are:
config.ini
. Use notepad to edit the file to have your server URL and login credentials.py -m pip install --user requests
first make sure powershell is looking at the correct folder. One way to do this is to open the lemmy_migrate-1.1.0 folder in windows explorer. right click on the box that shows you the path, and copy the text. then write
cd
in powershell. This path will very likely be something likeC:\\Users\Wu9fee\Downloads\lemmy_migrate-1.1.0
. If you don't want to copy and paste the path from explorer, you can just docd Downloads
thencd lemmy_migrate-1.1.0
Finaly, you can run the python command with
py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini
Let me know if you run into any problems.
If you can pull this off, you can officially say you know how to code.
Thanks for the tutorial! I might try but it looks hard. 🤔
Not too hard. Just alot of unfamiliar vocabulary. 😄 If you run into any questions with either of our walk throughs, (my linux one or @lemming934@lemmy.sdf.org 's Powershell one), feel free to DM me. Don't mind helping folks starting their exploration of computers. We all started somewhere.
It's not too bad, it seems more difficult because I added all the steps. Changing the folder PowerShell is looking at is easy to do, but hard to explain.
Nice! I knew someone would know how to do this in PowerShell!
