One of my big priorities here was to build a body of work that could be revisited and read at the user’s leisure, going back to the very first post here. Makes sense for me, of course, since I put in hundreds of hours gathering that content, formatting it, and writing the mini-articles.
So starting a new community in Europe.Pub (etc) would be nice and all, but it would also be like ‘starting over.’ After 22mos of hard and dedicated work on my part, that’s a bit much to swallow.
Still, arguably the most important aspects of all when it comes to an instance are: 1) what are its long-term prospects? and 2) how well is the place managed?, and 3) have their management staff found a way to deal with the inevitable bad actors that ultimately burned out the Lemm.ee staff…?
Yeah, I think these are good priorities, and PieFed.social seems like a pretty reliable new home. I’m obviously a fan, considering that I’ve been using it since the start. :)
Oh bother, (this is a bit much… haha) but I really, seriously (whoof, laddie!) appreciate the amount of work you’ve put in to the entire project, and even how you’ve braced-me for what’s coming, and also what my dumbass-self should do in the wake of Lemm.ee going down, err… :S
Oof… but man, I feel like we really did NOT appreciate the absolute excellence that Sunaurus (our host) brought to the table, over the years, you know? Like-- man… if I could go back in time, I should have contributed more, daggit.
Indeed, if there’s ANY chance of our host maintaining even a -basic- level of our best, most popular communities, I’d be happy to contribute to what we do, here.
Emergency point– HELL YEAH, if you need some funds…?
It was Blaze who found that PieFed could migrate entire communities over, far as I understand: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45876780?sort=Top

Hello, I’m here
We’re quite happy at https://piefed.social/
If you were to move your community there, this is how far the moved content would go: https://piefed.social/c/[email protected]?sort=old&layout=list&content_type=posts&flair= (so around 1 year old, when Piefed.social itself was created)
Not the whole content, but better than nothing.
For the 3 questions, feel free to post to [email protected] , that you can access from your Lemmy account, as any other Piefed community
Right so, thanks, Blaze. ❤️
