Recently joined and started a community for people who want to move away from Lemmy and want to see Lemmy loosen its stranglehold on the threadiverse, if that seems like something interesting to you consider checking out !cancel_lemmy@piefed.social

Interested, how do I move an instance from Lemmy to piefed?

At the moment, you basically have to restart it all with a fresh install of PieFed on your server.

They are working on features options to transfer over and copy the content etc, but that may be many months away still.

So, are all the posts and stuff on your instance gone?

Were you able to migrate the DB?

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I could have, and I still have the old Lemmy server around to do so if I wanted but it wasn’t deemed worth the effort. It was mostly world news, and who reads old news.

On most fediverse softwares its near-impossible to start federating on the same domain without the same keys it had before. Lemmy is the exception.

this explains why most of the images from quokk are broken anyway.
