@Scirocco@lemm.ee @sag@lemm.ee Any plans on moving this community to another instance?

[–] Scirocco@lemm.ee 10 points 4 weeks ago (12 children)

I've made one one on .world

TBH I am not particularly adept in the fediversification things and not sure

should we attempt to (is there a method for...) port any/all of the posts over there? Is there a way to "reassign" them? Hopefully with an automated tool of some sort.....

It appears to be !CassetteFuturism@lemmy.world, for anyone looking.

PieFed apparently has some functionality like this; the !InternetIsBeautiful@lemm.ee migration to !InternetIsBeautiful@piefed.social did this, and old posts---including, importantly, a new copy of images posted by lemm.ee users now hosted on piefed.social---are visible on that instance. I have not seen old posts yet show up on my own instance as of this writing, and am not sure whether they will do so or are even expected to do so.

sorry, i'm replying all out of order and all over this thread -- what i get for failing to read and replying from my inbox..

If there's an automated way to migrate to piefed.social that includes the comments, media and ideally attribiution for all of the old posts that would be cool. I'll investigate those options a little

retrolemmy.com is another possibility, but idk anything much about it yet

Yes, there is. One other community that I'd been using did that: !CasualConversation@lemm.ee moved to !CasualConversation@piefed.social using PieFed's migration feature. It retains comments. It mirrors media to piefed.social, as best I can tell, and the attribution issue goes away.

I've been reposting the old stuff manually to !CassetteFuturism@lemmy.world, but I'll put that on pause if you're planning to migrate to a third community on piefed.social instead.
