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!

I’d like to say lemmy.world, but a lot of communities you’d think would be quite active are actually not so.

Yeah I think this one will last forever. Everyone is on it and they have lots of supporters.

That’s the thing about the fediverse, you need to be the change you want to see. Post a lot and contribute.

You’re right, it at the same time a small number of people trying to post regularly, regardless of whether they’ve got something that really needs posting, doesn’t tend to provide high-quality content - and I fear that’s what we’re seeing a lot on Lemmy right now.

Yeah I have thought about that, but I think it’s better to have a lot of content than no content. Of course the optimal would be if everyone posted quality content but maybe it’s more important to just have new content now they Lemmy is growing.

I think if Lemmy becomes very big, there will be enough users that people who want a bit higher quality can just skip the meme communities and all that and opt for better quality communities.
