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!

The other instance has to be up. If it's permanently down, there's nothing I can do.

  1. Login to https://natoboram.github.io/Leanish/lemmy.one/login
  2. Export your user in https://natoboram.github.io/Leanish/lemmy.one/settings
  3. Login to https://natoboram.github.io/Leanish/lemmy.ca/login
  4. Import your old user in https://natoboram.github.io/Leanish/lemmy.ca/settings
  5. Click on the big button

It will search for the subscribed communities, attempt to retrieve them and attempt to subscribe. Refresh the page between tries. Do not share your exported user; it contains your email.

Leanish is very much alpha and doesn't have all features. There's tons of missing features, many of them listed in the GitHub issues.
