But how does one switch from Lemmy to Piefed?
You create a new account on a Piefed instance. There’s a lot to choose from like Piefed.social, piefed.ca, piefed.blahaj.zone, etc
Theres a lot of animosity right now between some Piefed and Lemmy users for some reason. I use both, I dunno why people are picking this fight right now, it seems pretty fucking dumb to me.
You can register on a Piefed instance and use Lemmy's subscription export feature and Piefed's import feature to retain your subscriptions. Porting comments/posts isn't a thing.
There's work underway creating migration scripts for Lemmy databases to be imported to Piefed, but that is a tool for instance administrators only, of course.
