Very good point

Good to see Lemmy compatibility!

Mastodon has groups similar to Lemmy communities, Threads could definitely implement them too.

Key forks are much more aesthetically pleasing

If you just cross post everything, most of the people will stay on the previous one

Negative:

1. Ask the community if they would be okay to move. If there is a big backlash, just stay there.
2. Open the new community on the new instance, add the sidebar, the banner, everything to make it look like the previous one.
3. Post the the old community a link to the new community. Lock the old community.
4. Add a few posts to the new community to make the transition smoother

Hello,

I migrated a few communities in the past. Usually, it’s okay, except if you really have a lot of valuable content, it happens quite smoothly.

If people ask, it was from !dundermifflin@lemmy.ml to !dundermifflin@lemm.ee

With 0.19, you can even move your subscribe list in two clicks from the settings (you get a JSON file that you can import on another instance) without external apps

How dare they!

Thanks for sharing, and happy to see two of the communities I’m posting to on Lemm.ee are mentioned there (!yurop@lemm.ee and !movies@lemm.ee )

The centralization on Lemmy.world can create performance issues. Reddthat has been having issues since LW upgraded to 19.3: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/edf3gjrxxnocgd/federation-health?orgId=1&var-instance=lemmy.world&var-remote_instance=reddthat.com&var-remote_software=All&from=now-24h&to=now, while they have no issues with SJW: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/edf3gjrxxnocgd/federation-health?orgId=1&var-instance=sh.itjust.works&var-remote_instance=reddthat.com&var-remote_software=All&from=now-24h&to=now

@ticoombs@reddthat.com, our admin, is trying to figure out a solution, but it might require important rework of the Lemmy codebase

I’m thinking about asking a few communities I mod on LW if they could consider moving to another instance to spread the load.

Hello,

Thank you for this post, a nice piece of positivity among the tensions from the last few days.

You are a great person, thank you for your work.
