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/casualconversation , 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 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.
kbin was a lemmy compatible software.
It has all of the lemmy features, with a really nice ui and microblogging (like twitter).
kbin.social was the main instance, it had a lot of users.
The dev eventually abandoned the project, and kbin.social decayed untill it finally stopped working.
It was forked (code copied by a new group, to keep the project alive) by the mbin project.
https://kbin.earth/ is an mbin instance, for example, that’s still up.
Ah I see. I guess lemmys kinda like emails some domains just go to shit and shut down.
