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.
Unfortunately not.
There is a 'Move community to X' button, subscribers will stay on the old one.
The subscribers is the big issue. If we could automatically move over subscribers then maybe PugJesus would still be around.
What happened to pugjesus?
Thanks. I loved his explanations. ☹️
He was one of the pillars of the entire ecosystem. While it was unreasonable to ask that of him, and it was bound to burn him out sooner or later, it's undeniable that the Threadiverse has felt noticeably quieter since he left.
I hope he is in a happier place in life at the moment, I know posting here gave him an escape from some real life shit. He deserves a happy and stress free existence after single-handedly basically carrying the content contribution load of a small army here for several years.
It was truly impressive. Hope he's doing well too.
Its pretty much not feasible unless all the devs work together on a compatible method. I looked into it pretty thoroughly with PyLova and while I could get something working PyLova to PyLova it wouldn’t help with anyone subbed from Lemmy or Mbin, etc.
You need to be able to verify the requests from both ends or else you end up with a system where a dodgy instance can just subscribe you to their communities against your will.
Oh, I was just pipe dreaming. Maybe one day, though.
I will try reaching piefed.world admin in https://piefed.world/about
