Creating accounts on multiple instances vs subscribing all from one? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

Redundancy is your friend, always.

Afaik, there's no way to transfer subscriptions. You have to do it manually.

I'm hoping a tool will be made soon. But yes, in the meantime there no reason not to make multiple accts just in case.

Seems like it would be a pretty simple tool to make. It merely has to access the API on one instance to log in and gather all of your subscriptions, and then log into the other and subscribe to them all.

That's what I was thinking too, creating a couple more accounts purely out of redundancy. Fair, hopefully maybe there will be a way to export subscriptions in the future.

Someone's made one but I haven't tested it.

I suspect there will be.
