RULES

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
Keep it clean and SFW
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

[Meta] Would you all be okay to give the Piedfed migration feature a try? (lemm.ee)

Presentation of the feature: https://piefed.social/post/667045

Example of successful migration: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45876492

Our next step would be to give this feature a try. What would basically happen is that

we would lock our community to prevent integrity issue during the migration
https://piefed.social/c/[email protected] would become https://piefed.social/c/casualconversation , with all the existing posts and comments
you all would subscribe to the new [email protected] , and then continue as usual

Should the migration not work, we would still be able to use the current community, and then manually migrate elsewhere.

The objective of this post is to address any questions or issues before we move forward. We are probably going to leave it open for 48 hours, and then reassess based on the community feedback.

Well, someone's gotta be the guinea pig!

I have no idea what, if any, compatibility issues exist between Piefed and Lemmy instances today, as I don't normally use any communities on instances running Piefed. Might be a good idea to ask the PieFed people or piefed.social admins about any known issues, or check the Piefed issue tracker:

Mod-Assigned Post Flair is Dropped When a Lemmy Post is Edited

Like, for a community that relied heavily on post flair to make the community work, that might be a substantial issue.

I've been using Piefed for the last few weeks as my daily driver, no issue so far.

flair

Lemmy doesn't show flairs anyway, so no community can reliably use them, they're just accessory "nice labels" at the moment.
