I’ve made one one on .world

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

Hopefully with an automated tool of some sort…

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.

Honestly, there aren't that many posts in this community's history---only ~240-and-change---and it'd be a shame to lose the images. Tell you what, @Scirocco@lemm.ee and @sag@lemm.ee. I'll go ahead and take the initiative and go through and manually repost the history myself to the new community with what images I can recover, and upload to lemmy.today's pict-rs instance; not all are still accessible.

Also, given that catbox.moe---another popular place to host content posted to the Threadiverse---is also at risk of going down, probably a good thing to get anything on there off anyway, if anyone's used that.

Well, just today

i've stuffed all of the posts (and most of the sources) into archive.is, just in case.

I'm not super-active as you've pointed out...
