  • What pointed me towards this solution was primarily Blaze’s positive experience with such.
  • What delayed my personal decision was 1) new, scary health issues I’ve been dealing with, and 2) personal ambivalence. What swung the balance was the fact that (maybe, hopefully) I’m not going blind anytime soon, plus I was really starting to miss sharing my BD findings with the world. (more on why I feel so driven on that in a future post, perhaps)
  • Specifically, our new address updates from https://lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels to https://piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels (got it?)
  • But why PieFed, anyway? Welp, because it will seemingly allow a bunch of our classic content to be preserved. I feel like that’s very much a good thing rather than ‘completely starting over.’
  • But what if the move doesn’t work out for reasons X, Y or Z? Then we’ll move to the next-best instance that I know of in the few days we have left here, and I’ll be sure to mark that heavily across our sub/community, so that people will have an idea where to follow us who are looking at cached versions of EGN+.
  • Btw, huge thanks to Thomas Verguet & Bastien Orenge for this artwork from Magellan, which I hope to get to, one of these days. (boy, I sure seem to say that a lot, lately XD)
  • Oh, and sadly, I’m not quite sure how to do a group-invite to our ~1,260 subscribers to the new place. If anyone reading has some expertise on that, now would be a nice time to chime in… 😅
  • Btw2, “PieFed” as I understand it is not just a classic host instance, but also a significant ‘dev’ instance (kinda like Lemmy.ML) that’s a major fork of the Lemmy software which integrates beautifully upon the Fediverse.

    I’m no stranger to ocular health issues myself, so I hope you’re in good medical hands, they can do a lot these days! I wish you the best and also a successful migration!

      Yeah, it’s been… pretty terrifying, frankly. I WOULD be curious to hear about how things worked for you…?

        Well, in my case it’s high pressure, which can also lead to blindness. But it’s being treated and hopefully will stay stable for a while, there’s no real cure for these things.

            If they can already rule out glaucoma, which is the n⁰1 cause of blindness, then that’s at least something very positive. Retina should be checked as well (OCT), but they probably did already.

    Hello JohnnyEnzyme,

    First of all, I hope you’re doing better health wise.

    As said on the confirmation post, I forwarded your request to Rimu, the Piefed.social admin

      Ah Blaze,
      I’m such a complete doofus for not deciding on this stuff earlier, nor taking advantage of the opportunity to dang-d’ol-diddley-ol’-dangisuch* getting it done earlier, but, well… life, you know?

      * ruh-roh, Flanders alert

      Ah, so… thanks again, you beautiful ol’ Blazer, you.

    Thank you for all the ongoing work you put in, bud!

    Wish I could help you out technically, but I’m a little new to the Fediverse myself. I will pass along my hopes that your health stays strong, friend.

      Yaar, ye olde Skalywag, ye!
      Haha, I really appreciated that.

      Seriously, there is nothing worse than putting a tonne of effort in to trying to make a good-natured, cool, funny, educational post, and then it getting the ‘yadda-yadda’ treatment, I guess one might say. Lol.

      Thank you matey for your appreciative words. <3

      ME/CFS

      You actually know what that disease is, and so forth…? Sorry, not trying to be an arse, but… wow. Really, now?

        I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Is this in relation to the health issues you mentioned in your post?

        But I’m a person who lives with v severe ME/CFS.

          Oh! Shit no, sorry, I’ve never met anyone here who even knows what basic CFS/ME actually is. That said, and far as I know, ‘severe’ is the worst grade of all upon (ME) Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. And then of course, there are multiple grades of such…

          Anyway, no… my ‘recent struggles’ was simply about going increasingly blind in both eyes. Wow… aren’t we a funny pair…
