It could use some work though. Subscribers are not ported and there are many nuances with post/comment porting.
Better than nothing though.
If you consider how subscribing actually works (or rather: has to work) with federated content, this isn't surprising. There could be some mechanism that uses the old community and some sort of meta-post to trigger the subscriptions to migrate, but the hard part is making that abuse-resistant. Probably too hard?
I know that Rimu does want to make it so subscribers from a community migrating are transferred. But I imagine this would only work for users based on piefed instances.
One possible method to limit abuse would be manual approval from both instances.
The Piefed community migration requires a manual request that needs to be approved.
From my discussions with the world admins, they can actually move subscribers between LW and piefed.world (but unlike piefed.social, they won't move posts/comments).
Definitely
