I’ve spent the last couple hours investigating, and yeah, it seems like lemmyzip is the right call. Do you know how to migrate a community? I’m not sure where to start.

Blaze@piefed.social 2 weeks agoLast point for zip, this is where the majority of lemm.ee users are going: https://lemmy.zip/post/40323214
Other nice options:
- https://lemmy.ca/
- https://sopuli.xyz/

This seems to be Piefed-specific; if I’m understanding correctly, it seems that the only way to “migrate” a Lemmy community from one instance to another is to simply make a new one on the new instance, and make a post in the old instance directing people to the new one. It doesn’t seem like it’s possible to actually transfer the content, posts, subscribers, etc from one to the other.
Does that seem correct? I’ll keep studying up on this regardless.

Oh sorry, I got distracted. From Lemmy to Lemmy there isn't currently any tool to perform a migration.
You can see !football@lemm.ee to !football@sopuli.xyz to see how we did it

Also, what about lemmy.ml instead of lemmyworld? isn’t that one of the “official” dev-run instances?
