Interested, how do I move an instance from Lemmy to piefed?

At the moment, you basically have to restart it all with a fresh install of PieFed on your server.

They are working on features options to transfer over and copy the content etc, but that may be many months away still.

So, are all the posts and stuff on your instance gone?

Were you able to migrate the DB?

I could have, and I still have the old Lemmy server around to do so if I wanted but it wasn’t deemed worth the effort. It was mostly world news, and who reads old news.

On most fediverse softwares its near-impossible to start federating on the same domain without the same keys it had before. Lemmy is the exception.

this explains why most of the images from quokk are broken anyway.
