    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.

            And I can imagine it will be a functionality of one of the apps some time.

            Sync Ultra had a cloud backup option, although just for its settings. I can imagine something like that with the profile things, handled on app level. That would be very cool.
