I know this is kinda pointless, but blaze, the amount of work you're putting in to ease the transition of the lemm.ee communities is above and beyond what anyone could have hoped for from a single person.

Mad respect!

Have you an idea on what instance you want to migrate already?

I have had a real fine experience with sh.itjust.works (and with the French Jlai.lu, but this one is focusing on French language ;)

We might use the Piefed community migration feature: https://piefed.social/post/667045

I just tried it on !barcelona@lemm.ee to !barcelona@piefed.social, it worked quite well

Do you see the old posts from lemmy?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The one caveat is that from Lemmy instances, the community doesn’t have show old posts (see https://lemm.ee/c/barcelona@piefed.social), but if you were restarting a community from scratch you wouldn’t have access to your old posts anyway.

This ensure that at least the posts are transferred to a community on an active instance, which is probably the main concern for lemm.ee communities at the moment.

Ah, guess that makes sense. Thanks.

@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works, I replied to your Matrix message this morning, but seems like you never saw mine 😅

Whoops, I'm still somewhat inexperienced with Matrix. Either your invite wasn't there earlier, or I just didn't see it! >.<

No worries, it can be a bit finicky!
