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!

Email in the 1990s and email in 2020s is the same if you're running your own MTA.

Sure. If you do everything yourself, like implement antispam, backup, maintenance, high availability, etc - then it is mostly the same.

HA for personal MTA is way overkill, just run a second instance with higher MX record value. Antispam is a given, backups are snapshots, maintenance is just system updates. Of course, you could just run an appliance which does it all for you. I'd say it's way easier than in 1990s.

my original comment was about using e-mail service provided by others. Hosting own e-mail server as well as a lemmy instance is ... not for "normal" people (as well as serving their cars or build a house etc)

Happily, I'm abnormal that way. I also dabble in PV DIY. Building houses from scratch, no. Servicing a modern car is also not worth it. Sadly, no open source EVs yet available.
