In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.
My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.
Now I’m taking a break. I won’t post anything or I’ll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content 😢?)
But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.
However… I’m just curious.
Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?
I would convert my instance to piefed if there was a migration script, iirc they’re working on it, so I’m looking towards that.
I wouldn’t hold my breath, I’m on the Zulip (https://chat.piefed.social/ ) and Matrix chats and the migration script isn’t really worked on by anyone.
Instances like quokk.au just went nuclear and recreated their instances with Piefed when keeping the domain name.
https://piefed.blahaj.zone/ went the subdomain route.
There’s an open issue for migration script blockers on the codeberg. It looks like there might be more movement on that front now that 1.1 has been released release.
Also @lena@gregtech.eu
Does that even work? Wouldn’t that kinda break federation?
It worked 99.99%, the only issue was PieFed doesn’t allow capitals in community names which meant one community broke as the name didn’t match after being made lowercase.
The instance and communities federate correctly
You can ask @Deceptichum@quokk.au for details
I don’t rightly know but… to a first degree of approximation, if both are fully compliant with the ActivityPub protocol then why would it? (they are not I would guess, but that is a more nuanced take than I have knowledge of:-D)
