Lemmy to Piefed migration preparations (feddit.org)

Due to the unfortunate down-time of slrpnk.net we are currently researching possible blockers for creating a Lemmy to Piefed migration guide or script for a relaunch in 1-2 months.

I have never done such a migration before, but generally it seems possible, although migrating image uploads from Pict-rs adds additional complexity (that might not be worth it).

I have created an issue on Codeberg about possible blockers here, but additional input on possible issues or examples of similar migration scripts would be appreciated.

If anyone else has similar plans, please let me know so that we can work together on this.

Yeah, I did that, plus the videos, plus just running a local test instance and tweaking things.

The app/activity pub code is probably the most complex to follow. Most of the rest is easier to get your head around.

Feel free to ping me if you have questions. Or join the matrix channels, they are pretty lively too.
