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!

Not the person you ask, but as I'm in the same boat (finally got everything running except email lol), I use a scrap dell PC with a 8gen hexacore, 512GB SSD, 4TB HD & 8GB RAM on a 1Gb/~700Mb line 🤷 I'm aiming at an artsy/comics drawings server (hence some initial space) and I think I'll open it up for inscriptions when I have figured out the OVH mail config...

But it's a big step, today if it crams it's just impacting me.

Cheers!

I don't host my own instance but that sounds immensly overpowered for the job! Lemmy doesn't even host images and pure text, a database and web interface shouldn't be that hard to host

Yeah I know, I'll probably use it for other things too :-)

I have pictrs alongside Lemmy though, so I can share images in Lemmy.

Awesome, self-hosting for the win! :)
