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!

This is one reason that I think many people should consider running their own single-user instance or tiny instances for close friends/family.

One of the problems with centralization is literally the fact that this can happen. The more small servers the fedi is comprised of, the stronger it is. There are also a huge number of benefits to this configuration on an individual level as well.

EDIT: Re: importing/exporting your old account is, unfortunately, a thing that cannot be done currently. I'm happy to be corrected on that, though.
