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.

They actually migrated stuff from Lemmy? I thought it was a new instance?

It used to be a Lemmy instance since around 8 months: https://lemmy.world/c/world@quokk.au?dataType=Post&sort=Old

Ah, right they just swapped out without migrating anything. Thats not really what we are aiming for, but their comment confirmes that remote subscriptions might get lost.
