Presentation of the feature: https://piefed.social/post/667045
Example of successful migration: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45876492
Our next step would be to give this feature a try. What would basically happen is that
- we would lock our community to prevent integrity issue during the migration
- https://piefed.social/c/[email protected] would become https://piefed.social/c/fedigrow , with all the existing posts and comments
- you all would subscribe to the new [email protected] , and then continue as usual
Should the migration not work, we would still be able to use the current community, and then manually migrate elsewhere.
The one caveat is that from Lemmy instances, the community doesn’t have show old posts (see https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]), but if you were restarting a community from scratch you wouldn’t have access to your old posts anyway.
Other federated instances like feddit.online would also see the posts and comments on the new community: https://feddit.online/c/[email protected]
The objective of this post is to address any questions or issues before we move forward. We are probably going to leave it open for 48 hours, and then reassess based on the community feedback.
It blocks UK though right.
Be a shame if UK people can’t see this useful comm.
Lemmy.zip being blocked in the UK wouldn’t prevent them from accessing the community via another instance: https://feddit.uk/c/[email protected] / https://feddit.uk/c/[email protected]
I think u accidentally replied twice.
But cool, interesting! I was under the false impression they had been defederated.
No no, even the Lemmy.zip admins recognized it was stupid: https://lemmy.zip/post/31644782/16522418
