You can't ask people to join small servers that have the biggest risk of shutting down without creating migration toola thst migrate all the content along the likes and comments

    Size by itself is not the main predictor of risk. My instance is the only one on the Lemmy/kbin/Piefed side of the Fediverse that is exclusive for paying subscribers. It has never had more than 10 active users. This week it is celebrating its second anniversary - coincidentally I set it up on the same day as lemm.ee - and it has outlived a whole lot of instances.

    I don't know how this dismise my point. Small instances dies all the time. I am more preoccupied by death of instances on oixelfed though

    Small instances dies all the time

    Small hobbyist instances die all the time. Just like the medium ones and the large ones.

    My point still stand. People won't go to small instances that have change of shutting down thr most. Like i said in my very first comment we need better migration tools to encourage people to join small instances

    There will always be "First we need this, then we will start supporting it" excuse. If you think better migration tools are needed, support the developers so that they can make it happen.

    You just said in another comment that lemmy devs have limited time and budgets to implement better migrations tools. If i find a dev who promote a project lime that i would donate

    If we all donate a little bit to the project, their budget will be larger. If their budget is larger, they can get more steady collaborators.

    And even if they can't get more people, by helping them we show we value all the work they have done already.
