Basically the title. I'd like to not lose anything and import users, communities, posts/comments, etc to hit the ground running but on a more stable platform.

@rimu@piefed.social Is that possible?

Any idea if he's referring to a turnkey "run a script" / "push a button" type solution that's not (yet) available?

If all other aspects of it are technically possible, I'd be more than willing to manually muck around in the database to move things ove and take what was learned from that and hopefully make a DB migration script.

I think that's what he meant, yeah (no existing DB migration scripts, etc). I don't know much about it, but I imagine it was probably always going to involve someone more familiar with Lemmy diving into the trenches.

Well he never elaborated. But feel free to ask him directly at https://matrix.to/#/#piefed-general:matrix.org
