Meh, I had just got asylum coming from reddit, had barely unpacked.

Having learned the volatility of instances, I've signed up to a couple of other instances and subscribed to the same communities.

I don't care for hoarding internet points - if I did, I'd have stayed in reddit as a karma hostage - so I don't mind switching instances.

Maybe that's a healthy aspect of lemmy; accumulated points matter less when they are more ephemeral.

Indeed. Karma was simply gamification. It made conversations superficial.

I dont care about the points, but man finding what I was subbed has been a pain, and actively maintaining and subscribing in parallel to the same communities would be kind of tiring as a safe measure, I will probably just take screenshots of my subbed communities from now on

vlemmy is provably lost, but once you resub everything, apparently you can download your setup, then upload to other instance:
