!fedigrow@lemmy.zip

Moving to lemmy.zip as it has a similar defederated instances list to lemm.ee, and is very well managed (https://lemmy.zip/post/39959863 ) as well as the main destination for lemm.ee users (https://lemmy.zip/post/40323214 )

Please have a look at the other Meta thread to see the discussion that happened about Piefed or Lemmy as the next instance for this community

Thank you, I also subscribe from a few other instances: https://piefed.social/post/846330?sort=new#post_replies

No, I haven't seen any Ask communities on any of those instances.

There's https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/Asktchncs , but there's a single post, the name is too specific, so probably better to start a new one.

flairs

Small question about the flairs: is there another example of flairs implementation on other Fediverse software? My guess was that as Lemmy/Mbin and Piefed are the only Reddit clones in the Fediverse, then there would be no existing implementation of flairs anywhere else in other Fediverse apps, but I'm probably missing something.

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.

Fair. I'll edit the title so that people can also suggest the instances they would like to move this community to.

Disclaimer: if you prefer Lemmy, you would still be able to interact with the new Piefed community as if it was a Lemmy community (e.g. : https://lemmy.world/post/30619912). The main pro here would be able to recover all of the past content in an active community, compared to only having it archived in a lemm.ee community.

So the Piefed/Lemmy choice wouldn't really change a lot for a user, you can still use your platform of choice to interact with the community.

Now, about Piefed itself:

Feature-wise, it is already ahead of Lemmy

App support is starting, with Interstellar supporting it (https://piefed.social/post/817564) and Thunder going to work on it (https://lemmy.world/comment/17459098)

Also, I'm not sure about the "final project of a CS class" aspect, it's not like Lemmy doesn't have its own quirks and issues (!languagesettings@lemmy.zip , all of the features above missing).

Of course, the UI could be improved (I still prefer the Lemmy UI, probably a matter of habit), but as the Piefed API has now been enabled, we can expect Photon, Alexandrite and others to support it too in the future.

How is your week going? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

Could you please elaborate why?

Yes, you would be able to interact the same way. You can see !casualeurope@piefed.social and !lego@piefed.social as an example.

Well spotted, I was lazy and just copy pasted from the other community, editing now

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've been using Piefed for the last few weeks as my daily driver, no issue so far.

flair

Lemmy doesn't show flairs anyway, so no community can reliably use them, they're just accessory "nice labels" at the moment.

[Meta] Where would you like this community to go? in c/movies@lemm.ee
[–] Blaze@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

Depends. Some people will find it handy to have the past posts and comments in the active community.

[Meta] We are discussing the options for migrating this community, we'll keep you posted (lemm.ee)
 

Mods are discussing at the moment, we’ll create a poll in the coming days.

We still have some time as lemm.ee will only shutdown at the end of the month.

The Piefed community migration feature looks promising, but we have to troubleshoot a bit with @rimu@piefed.social to see how it can work.

!CasualEurope@piefed.social, a casual community for Europeans using Piefed features (lemm.ee)
 

!casualeurope@piefed.social

Follow up of this post https://lemm.ee/post/65711569 on !yurop@lemm.ee .

In one sentence, this is a casual community for Europeans.

Feel free to have a look, we have random historical facts, pictures, local events and discussions

!CasualEurope@piefed.social, a community with a name more clear and using Piefed features (lemm.ee)

!casualeurope@piefed.social

When this community was started, the idea was to have a !casualconversation@lemm.ee version, but focused on Europe. Yurop was selected as a name to show that it was less serious, but it seems like it still gets associated with https://old.reddit.com/r/YUROP/ , which is more about making memes about the Europeans news than casual conversation.

I have recently opened !casualeurope@piefed.social to solve this. Feel free to join us there, there is already some conversation going!

Where will content be posted now?

I will personally post content on the new community. Piefed has some nice features that can be used, so it's a good opportunity.

What will happen to !yurop@lemm.ee?

Not sure yet, but as the community wasn't that active, it will probably just become inactive. I could also lock it to push people to the new community, but that probably won't be necessary at first.

Feel free if you have any questions
