So as the title states, what are the benefits and downsides to each? On one hand, subscribing all from one instance (i.e this one), is most convinient, but on the other hand, if the instance goes offline / shuts down etc then I'm SOOL.

What would be the easiest way to transfer subscriptions across instances?

The way I do it is host my own Lemmy instance, federate with the most popular instances and then subscribe to whatever I like from there. It does require a bit of technical skills tho, so not for everyone I guess.

Might give it a try, I'm in IT so it shouldn't be too difficult. Would be a fun project
