To some degree, I hope PieFed can at least build in a more automatic way of moving not only the content but also the subscribers like Mastodon does.
But running my own PieFed instance I can say it's much much easier to run and especially update than Lemmy.
It does, I got 100 subscribers instantly on the communities I moved to Piefed
Only internal instance subscribers I assume, nobody from Lemmy or other PieFed instances. As far as I know ActivityPub doesn't define how to move something like a community to a different instance.
Rimu told me it would work between Piefed instances
I'm afraid it only works for that one instance:
I am subscribed to:
but not to:
So I have to chase the ones and resubscribe manually.
That's ok if I know about it, I can just search for all lemm.ee ones I'm subscribed to, go there and find the post which tells me where the community is moving. But sometimes it takes time for the community to decide and I probably will miss it like https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/35941084
Anyway, just so that everybody is aware of that fact and doesn't miss resubscribing to the new ones.
Ah or perhaps you meant if we move from one piefed instance to another piefed instance that the 3rd instances would be aware of it?
Yes, that was more the idea
