    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.

      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.

      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.
