Is there is a smooth way to move my communities from my current piefed instance to another instance without starting from zero? (piefed.world)

I started getting sure that .world will never update their software and I don't want to use super outdated software.

I want to move my communities from .world piefed instance to feddit. online, is there is a way to do that without losing subscribers or posts?

You can keep the content for the most part...at least the content that has federated to the target instance already. Basically, the instance you are moving to will reassign all the posts to your new community.

However...there isn't any way yet to make all your community's subscribers follow along and subscribe to the new community. From their instance's perspective, it is a brand new community, so they would need to resubscribe.
