Moderators interested in migrating to a new community on another instance might want to consider selecting an instance and doing so sooner rather than later so that users here have time to see a migration post here and subscribe to the new community.
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…
I think retrolemmy.com will be better. @DosDude@retrolemmy.com what do you think?
Yea i don’t disagree — there are a number of reposts already at .world, but i’m not opposed to abandoning.
I spent a little time today looking for a way to ‘migrate’ all the posts non-manually, but this is the closest tool i found and it doesn’t include comments. https://gitlab.com/guardianoffreespeech/lemmy_meme_theif/-/tree/master
Also, it apparently uses V3 API and doesn’t work out of the box for V4, aaannnndddd it apears to be written in rust annnnnnnndddd the latest coding work i’ve done was in like 1998 and was mostly Perl with some ansi C

A large portion of the lemm.ee (all?) URLs are probably the ones I just stuffed in https://archive.ph/lemm.ee
tagging tal@lemmy.today since they have done the work reposting the lemmy.world instance tal@lemmy.today [i guess .today is not recognized as a valid tld?] lemmy.today
@DosDude@retrolemmy.com <— i did just submit to register on retrolemmy.com and i think that would be a good fit BUT – idk what the capicity is, and ofc we kinda don’t want to need to move again anytime soon. What do you think?
I think this would be an amazing fit for retrolemmy! Go right ahead. If you have any questions, you can always message me or @Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com
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.
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…
Removed by mod
I’ve been slacking on posting here due to work, but maybe reposting the content again will help drive traffic to the .world one?
It might be worth asking for advice in !fediverse@lemmy.world
