Thanks for your help! I was a ship at sea there for a moment lol

This seems to be Piefed-specific; if I’m understanding correctly, it seems that the only way to “migrate” a Lemmy community from one instance to another is to simply make a new one on the new instance, and make a post in the old instance directing people to the new one. It doesn’t seem like it’s possible to actually transfer the content, posts, subscribers, etc from one to the other.

Does that seem correct? I’ll keep studying up on this regardless.

Also, what about lemmy.ml instead of lemmyworld? isn’t that one of the “official” dev-run instances?

I’ve spent the last couple hours investigating, and yeah, it seems like lemmyzip is the right call. Do you know how to migrate a community? I’m not sure where to start.

Thanks for such a clear answer! I’m definitely not interested in ever getting involved in Lemmy Drama, so it does seems like LW might not be the way to go. I’ll do a little digging; Lemmy.zip seems good, but feel free to throw any other suggestions my way!

My information is a little outdated; do you know why some people seem to have a strong aversion to migrating to Lemmy.world?

Man, have I been out of the loop. I’m looking into a few new instances.

What’s everyone’s feelings on Lemmy.world? I know there’s been some huff about them in the past, but I’m interested in stability and ease for the most users.
