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

Context: I tried to use the Piefed migration feature to migrate !barcelona@lemm.ee to !barcelona@piefed.social

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/barcelona@piefed.social), 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.

One big issue is lemmy-federate won't federate a piefed.social community.

It says instance is not registered.

Now all your users will have to manually subscribe to see the community

I know https://piefed.social/post/821909?sort=new#post_replies

Based on that comment in your thread hopefully that can be solved soon

Thanks to @rimu from piefed.social for making this so easy!

I just did the same for !solus@lemm.ee and !aerynos@lemm.ee. Now both of them are on piefed.social. Pretty seamless!

Well done!

Nice work. Good thing we can have communities migrated now.
