I'm a bit slow. Where are the commies going?

Brilliant idea

It is great to know your options, and it sounds like you know what you want!

Some things like categories of (multi-)communities are worth switching for all on their own, for some people but ofc not for everyone:-).

None work with Voyager. Soon all should work with Interstellar. Thunder is a special case where it currently being tested.

In general app support is very new and hit or miss - the webpage is the preferred method of access (though that should change this year as the changes continue to roll out and push ahead:-).

I don't understand what migrating an account could do besides making new, duplicate posts & comments and deleting the old ones, which would mess up comment chains and spawn even more duplicate posts with no comments on them than we already have.

I am reborn

It would amazing if when importing, all the posts, would show up linking to them, just that and nothing more.
But I think this was discussed and its not going to happen.

Oh fuck it. I think I'll just stop using Lemmy when this instance shuts down. This is the part of the fediverse that really sucks. All the comments, saved posts etc are gone because why? A couple of guys couldn't handle a few troll messages? Sorry, if we want an independent site, away from the hands of venture capitalists, you're gonna have to tough it out and deal with a few nasty messages.

I think posts and comments will stay saved on other federated servers. It'd be weird and would probably break things if the entire server's activity gets scrubbed.

Like a beautiful phoenix, you rise again from the ashes!

Welcome back

I keep thinking voice comms until I remember the kids are trying to be cool.

Aaaargh, I can already feel my power waning... All these moments will be lost in time, and so on.
On a lighter and more serious note, though, thanks to all the admins and mods that made this ride possible. You are the best.

No they aren't. Clearly they don't have to, as they are in fact shutting the instance.

They're providing a service, as volunteers, for free, and asking nothing in return. By definition they get to set the terms on which they do that, and it is astonishingly selfish for you to expect them to do so under conditions that are clearly untenable, and blame them for this outcome when they cannot continue.

No. If you want an independent site, away from the hands of venture capitalists, you should've stepped up and volunteered to admin when they needed help.

This is my first time hearing about this.

No, because most of the other instances are probably more prepared.

ive been called to hexbear. i hear there are owls

I think my new instance won't appreciate me migrating FuckableCars here...

Nice, good luck with the migration! I'll be keeping an eye out where to subscribe
