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!

The universal login is a very old suggestion but it'srealluy hard to pull off because that would have to be build into the core of the protocol. About the migration, that's a Lemmy issue, not a general Fediverse one

Not really; login mechanisms are a separate thing. OAuth already exists. You only need Fediverse software to accept OAuth from anywhere and to provide it to others.

The migration part is IMO harder, but not necessarily by much. I don't know of any fediverse software that'd allow it though.

What I mean with "universal login" is one account for multiple Fediverse services, I guess that wasn't clear from my post. Yea, proper migration is hard and questionable if we should even allow it (could cause all kinds of issues, espwcially regarding account security) but Mastodon allows you to move your followers and add a redirect which is the most important part of the account and Lemmy should probably try to do something similar with ranks and communities.
