Transfer community from vlemmy to new instance? (lemmy.film)

As most of you may have heard, vlemmy randomly vanished.

I had started a few communities there. Is there a way to migrate them to a new instance (ideally along with their posts/subscribers/etc).

Thanks!

You might be able to recover some content if some other instances have it cached, but subscriptions are gone, users will have to re-subscribe.

That’s basically what I had to do. View the vLemmy community from another instance’s account and copy what I could over.

Really a bummer.

Let me know the communities as we might have the content cached.

Headphones, Quake_Champions, Apple_Music, and Classical_Music

Unfortunately, no.
