Thanks for the assistance, @iso@lemy.lol.
My new server uses a new domain. I do still have the old data (in fact, the old server is still up - that's where I'm posting this from).
I installed both Lemmy servers via Docker. It would be nice if I could
rsync
my account data (including post/comment history) from the old server to the new server, but I'm now wondering if my changing domains would make the old account not work at all in the new server.If you're not using the old domain then it would broke federation: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/backup_and_restore.html?highlight=changing#changing-your-domain-name
I guess there is no way to move your post/comment history to a new domain. It's like if you change your domain then you can't use old DB and if you don't change it then you can't re-install with fresh DB :)
Thanks, @iso@lemy.lol.
