Lemmy to Piefed migration preparations (feddit.org)

Due to the unfortunate down-time of slrpnk.net we are currently researching possible blockers for creating a Lemmy to Piefed migration guide or script for a relaunch in 1-2 months.

I have never done such a migration before, but generally it seems possible, although migrating image uploads from Pict-rs adds additional complexity (that might not be worth it).

I have created an issue on Codeberg about possible blockers here, but additional input on possible issues or examples of similar migration scripts would be appreciated.

If anyone else has similar plans, please let me know so that we can work together on this.

For the pictures, collecting them via wget and then instructing your webserver to map that URL to a path on your server should be possible. I've been thinking of doing that for a while now for caching purposes and to check if that really needs 25 GB of space just for me.
