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
I use PieFed rather than lemmy as my default these days, but the answer is the same for both. I love that they’re community driven, community hosted federated spaces that let people find the experience they want, and that they’re strongly resistant to corporate takeover and centralisation.
What I don’t like so much is the increase in debate bro type folk that are slowly drifting over from reddit. Of course, they’re at least partly dealt with by the things I mentioned earlier, but still, I wish we could undo some of the in your face debating attitudes that people have been trained to default to by toxic social media
I don’t like there is no way to get notification (subscribe to) a post to see new replies that come in after I’ve read the post for the first time…
I’ve moved to PieFed now as my default instance instead of lemmy, and this is one of the main reasons why! And you can do it at the community level as well, to be notified when a new post is made to a given community
The best tip I can give you is to get rid of windows, and, well, you’ve already done that :)
As you wish!!!
That was my immediate question too!
The airport “Marriott” in Santiago de Chile. That place was a hole, and a tiny one at that.
There’s no one size fits all answer. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
There is a manual way to import posts one at a time, so that’s a option.
That’s exactly how I did it when we spun up the new instance.
And once all the of the content was here, we transferred kicked off the transfer process.
It’s not feature complete, as you said. In our case, it broke, because of a bug around the way it handled community names that use upper case letters, which required editing the database to fix
But despite that, at the end of it, we have the old content on the new community. Even if it doesn’t federate, it’s not lost
The piefed community migration feature does import old posts, but it doesn’t refederate them, so they’ll only be visible to local users
like madlad, woosh, etc
I haven’t used Reddit for years, and I have no idea about those terms. If they’re a Reddit thing, I don’t recognise them.
Lemmy is also less tolerant of debate bros.
So yeah, they’re different
I don’t know, maybe they have a specific agreement with Patreon or something. But in general, that’s how Patreon like services work with YouTube
It’s possible to post unlisted videos that are only visible to folk with the URL.
Its good for folk who want to give their subscribers early access
Whipper Snipper here in Aus
It’s not one or the other though. Peertube with patreon can exist alongside YouTube
I get my partner to do it for me!
The format you want is !communityname @ instance.tld
So !eurographicnovels@piefed.social
