I'm a happy lemm.ee user and a mod of a small community hosted there. I'm also subscribed to a bunch of communities on lemm.ee. Sadly, they have just announced that they will be shutting it down. I understand that I can open an account on another instance and subscribe to the same communities. For my own community, I can probably re-create it on my new instance and DM every subscriber. But how do I find all the communities from lemm.ee in their new places? I'd like some practical advice.

Consider moving them to PieFed.

It's more feature rich, especially when it comes to mod tools.

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 21 points 4 days ago

It also supports community migration, where the old content (that the PieFed instance knows about) remains available but the community is now local to that instance instead of elsewhere.

Can you say which mod tools Piefed has that are missing from Lemmy?

Sure here's a tour of the moderation features in PieFed

A big one that I don't think is in this video is it hashed similar looking images and the Mod can ban them, this is useful to stop CSAM

One that stands out to me are the optional notes above the comment box for each community.

On piefed.social I’ve used this to put a note on every beehaw.org community about the ‘good vibes only’ nature of that instance and one community on lemmy.ml has a note about the unusual mostly-unwritten moderation policies employed there.

I like this idea, because it would serve as a last second warning to me(and others) that I might be at risk of participating with tankies.

Yeah I don’t get this argument either. The user reports content and I can see it, no matter which instance they're using. Does Piefed have a fully automatic autobot that fights spammers and we don't know about it? :)

I don’t think banning users by the keyword “88” or defederating from an instance because it has “peepo” logo and accusing them of being (possible) nazis is not that effective. Or at least prone to false-positives.

Though downvote statistics stuff looks good.

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 days ago

Many of these are already implemented in Lemmy, others are too controversial and wont be added (such as karma).

No need to get jealous. Lemmy will catch up eventually. /j

Does Voyager support PieFeed?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Don't do that. Spread them out.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Piefed is an alternative software to lemmy, not a specific instance.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We're talking about instances not software. I was talking about piefed.social specifically.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Piefed.social is not the only piefed instance.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That is like saying use lemmy and only meaning lemmy.ml and no where is it specified that you or the commenter meant piefed.social

Then take your issue up with @Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social
