Presentation of the feature: https://piefed.social/post/667045

Example of successful migration: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45876492

Our next step would be to give this feature a try. What would basically happen is that

Should the migration not work, we would still be able to use the current community, and then manually migrate elsewhere.

The one caveat is that from Lemmy instances, the community doesn’t have show old posts (see https://lemm.ee/c/barcelona@piefed.social), but if you were restarting a community from scratch you wouldn’t have access to your old posts anyway.

Other federated instances like feddit.online would also see the posts and comments on the new community: https://feddit.online/c/barcelona@piefed.social

The objective of this post is to address any questions or issues before we move forward. We are probably going to leave it open for 48 hours, and then reassess based on the community feedback.

I would suggest lemmy.zip as a Lemmy instance to migrate this community too.

Admins are very transparent (https://lemmy.zip/post/39959863), the instance has a good track record and monitoring dashboard (https://status.lemmy.zip/)

As !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com is already on dbzer0, that would allow to spread the "meta" communities a bit on different instances.

It blocks UK though right.

Be a shame if UK people can’t see this useful comm.

Lemmy.zip being blocked in the UK wouldn't prevent them from accessing the community via another instance: https://feddit.uk/c/soulslike@lemmy.zip / https://feddit.uk/c/fedigrow@lemm.ee

No no, even the Lemmy.zip admins recognized it was stupid: https://lemmy.zip/post/31644782/16522418
