    It was Blaze who found that PieFed could migrate entire communities over, far as I understand: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45876780?sort=Top

    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. :)

      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. ❤️

        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 pointHELL YEAH, if you need some funds…?
