@[email protected] @[email protected] Any plans on moving this community to another instance?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (12 children)

I've made one one on .world

TBH I am not particularly adept in the fediversification things and not sure

should we attempt to (is there a method for...) port any/all of the posts over there? Is there a way to "reassign" them? Hopefully with an automated tool of some sort.....

I think retrolemmy.com will be better. @[email protected] what do you think?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yea i don't disagree

there are a number of reposts already at .world, but i'm not opposed to abandoning.

I spent a little time today looking for a way to 'migrate' all the posts non-manually, but this is the closest tool i found and it doesn't include comments. https://gitlab.com/guardianoffreespeech/lemmy_meme_theif/-/tree/master

Also, it apparently uses V3 API and doesn't work out of the box for V4, aaannnndddd it apears to be written in rust annnnnnnndddd the latest coding work i've done was in like 1998 and was mostly Perl with some ansi C

A large portion of the lemm.ee (all?) URLs are probably the ones I just stuffed in https://archive.ph/lemm.ee

tagging [email protected] since they have done the work reposting the lemmy.world instance [email protected] [i guess .today is not recognized as a valid tld?] lemmy.today

@[email protected] <--- i did just submit to register on retrolemmy.com and i think that would be a good fit BUT -- idk what the capicity is, and ofc we kinda don't want to need to move again anytime soon. What do you think?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I think this would be an amazing fit for retrolemmy! Go right ahead. If you have any questions, you can always message me or @[email protected]
