I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite well (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

submitted 4 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Context: I tried to use the Piefed migration feature to migrate [email protected] to [email protected]

https://piefed.social/c/barcelona now exists, with all the existing posts there, as well as the icon and description.

It even moved some subscribers (there are around 100 now), from what I understand those were Piefed subscribers that got automatically moved.

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.

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.

Question: why do I see piefed come up so often/what makes it stand out?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The community migration feature mentioned in this post is quite neat
All comments from crossposts appear in the same view: https://piefed.social/post/815832#post_replies with comments from 3 crossposts
Flairs, both for posts and users: https://piefed.social/c/fediverse

Got it. So people like it because it’s just pretty well developed in future rich compared to most instances?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes. We were still waiting for the API (allowing app support) to come out of beta, and coincidentally it happened the same night Lemm.ee announced their shutdown.

So now quite a few Lemm.ee communities are considering moving to Piefed.

I like the idea of Piefed. Tried hosting lemmy and never got federation to work.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Yeah I was able to host Piefed for a bit. It's pretty readable.

Also "feeds", the ability to combine all similar communities into one.
