Casual reminder that Piefed allows to limit downvotes to people subscribed to a community (lemmy.zip)

Seems like the downvote debate got another round on https://lemmy.zip/post/47242086/21088009 , so this could be useful

There is a feature to migrate a community from Lemmy to Piefed. There are a few limitations, but it's not too bad overall

"Swapping" it without using that feature might break federation as it relies on asymmetric keys to sign activities

ah damn, the keys would definitely break then, thanks for warning me about that - it's not worth the effort then for now. I was hoping if I just changed DNS that a downstream federated service would just see the update and start accepting new items.
