With much thanks to PF’s site-runner, as well as good advice from @Blaze@piefed.social, we’ve successfully moved!
NEW ADDRESS:
https://piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels
OLD ADDRESS:
https://lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels
On the positive tip, we were able to preserve ~390 out of ~550 historical posts, so that’s better than starting over. On a more sobering side, it looks like we’re going to lose most of our (current) ~1,260 subscribers, and PieFed being a different instance, running different software, it’s not clear to me if we’re going to get the same exposure to “ALL” streams that we once enjoyed.
While it’s true that I can invite individual members to join, it seems that (unlike PF), the Lemmy software doesn’t allow me to see a list of subscribers, even as the founder and head mod. If anyone has any ideas on that, feel free to advise…
In any case, I hope you find something you might like at our (now smaller 😅) community / sub-lemmy.
Make sure you make a sticky post in the old community with the new address before lemm.ee shuts down. That way it will stick at the top of folks feeds, even after the instance is down, and people who find the old community will be able to tell at a glance what the new address is
There is indeed such a post (as you should be able to see?), but the link is in the body of the post (several times), not as a direct hotlink.
The issue I’ve always had with the standard Lemmy software is that it allows either a hotlink or an image in the ‘URL’ field, but not both. Take a look if you have a minute and let me know what you think, please?
The format you want is !communityname @ instance.tld
So !eurographicnovels@piefed.social
Okay, what think about it now?
I’ve put the link in the banner / description, as well as added it to the stickied ‘move post.’
@AbnormalHumanBeing@lemmy.abnormalbeings.space
Oh, right… instead of an absolute URL-style link.
Good point, thank you!
