They were waiting for 0.19.6 due to some issues in 0.19.5, hopefully now they’ll upgrade

Very interesting

Indeed

Parallel federation sending by @phiresky in #4623

Hopefully this allows smaller instances to catch-up with LW

Quite active week

Well done !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world

Well done @sag@lemm.ee

Just link to your old profile on the new one. Use the same username and picture if you want to be recognized

Wow, that’s serious

Thank you for the heads up!

Subscription list, blocking list (users, communities and instances). Could be other stuff too, but that’s the most important when migrating

Thanks, I wasn’t aware. Microblogs seems to be easier to manage than threads, so it might be more difficult for Lemmy

can import your exported posts from Mastodon and most of its forks, Pleroma / Akkoma, Misskey / Firefish and forks, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, including attachments (threading may not work perfectly, and other people’s replies to your posts may not get imported)

You can achieve that by adding a link to your old profile from the new and vice versa.

To my knowledge, this is not possible at the moment.

Indeed, and probably never going to happen. Even Mastodon do not support actual migration, they just add a redirection to your new profile from the old and vice versa.

I’d still be starting from scratch posting-history-wise.

Why is that an issue? Lemmy has no karma, and if you want to keep you “reputation”, you can use the same username and picture on both sides, people will recognize you.

Go to your settings, export your settings, then import them on the new account.

That’s it. If you want to be fancy, you can add your new account on your old bio and vice-versa, but that’s mostly it.

If you want to keep your “reputation”, use the same username on both sides, people will recognize you.

Single sign-on is huge, well done!

dedicated networks about history

What are those?

Happy to help. Yes, that’s pretty much the conclusion we made.

Seems to completely miss the point of federation.

Lemmy currently has 45k monthly active users: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Centralized alternatives:

• Discuit has less than 250: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/9JPo3q0m
• Tildes doesn’t have numbers, but based on activity, it seems similar to Discuit
• Blue Dwarf has 50

There was a thread yesterday on /r/RedditAlternatives talking about “how do you attract users to a new alternatives”, most of the comments where about how difficult it is: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1g4zcdi/for_those_of_you_who_started_your_own_alternative/

Based on this, I would say that Lemmy allowing everyone to open a server helps in that regard. Instance admins are more confident in the platform as they have control on this. Users trust admins.

migration between federated entities so that it doesn’t feel like as much of a chore to jump between instances.

Migration takes two clicks from the account settings, are you referring to something else?

This whole thread is wild with Lemmy expectations lol.

Yeah, it feels like people have expectations like the website is 100k or 200k monthly active members. We are barely 45k, so the scope has to be limited
