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 like it because it sounds cute. It also helps that the Estonia top level domain isn't as volatile as that of Mali's.

Looks like they’re having database migration errors and possibly didn’t let them complete. They may have gotten scared after the upgrade and then downgraded. If they upgrade to the new version and just wait, they should be fine.

When I first launched mine, I had a couple issues and have learned quite a bit going through it. I say pay attention to who’s running whatever ones you’re looking at and you’ll have a pretty good idea on the longevity.

It’s true that several instances (the ones hosted in Mali?) closed, but I think you’re premature in saying the smaller instances are disappearing, Lemmy.one included.

Sure, they’re bound to crash or go down for maintenance from time to time, but that doesn’t mean they’re finished. So far my experience has been that if you give it a couple days they’ll be back. Keep in mind these are shoestring operations and sometimes seeing major influxes of users.

I don't know. My friend was in another instance and he said it's gone now and went back to Reddit.

kbin.social is well funded and will probably be around for many years to come

where does it say well funded? the most salient thing I can see is

I have started each stage, but none is polished enough for me to honestly apply for a payout. I'll need to address this promptly.

Mine's gonna stick around for as long as I use fedi

Hopefully Lemmy.ca (one which we're both using). They're trying to become a not for profit company, plus theyre super transparent on server costs and how much money they have at the moment.

Smaller ones? Lemmy.world did not let me log in today
