This is a follow-up to Tim Chambers’ “The Seven Deadly UX Sins”, in which we collaboratively review where and how the network has improved over the past six months, with a lot of different initiatives to show for it!


If you ever need to move instances, go to https://sh.itjust.works/settings and export the settings. Then in your new instance, import the settings. You’ll be following all the same communities as before, same blocks, etc. Settings exported from Lemmy can be imported into PieFed too.
The real bummer is when you invest a lot of time and effort into creating then building up a community on the wrong instance. You can just make a new comm and tell everyone to follow it but making this kind of moving more high-fidelity is high on my list.
Thank you; that’s really good to know!
But yes, it sounds like community migration is a real need.

Hrm, it looks from the comments like it’s still kind of janky, but definitely a step in the right direction!
