Another user here that had set up VLemmy as primary instance. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to back up subscriptions and how to do due diligence on an instance to make sure that it is more credible/stable?
I have relaunched on Lemm.ee, and want to make sure that I am prepared for this happening again!
In addition to the other suggestions, I have just published lemmy2opml which allows you to export your subscribed communities to an OPML file. You can then import that file to a different account.
That’s correct. It’s unfortunate but at least next time you can be prepared. I’m hoping this functionality becomes an official part of the software soon.

See the comment here by @CMahaff@lemmy.world for an unofficial tool they made.
Looks like that only works if the instance is still online…
