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.
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.
