Lemm.ee (cartographyanarchy’s home instance) is shutting down and I love this community so I’d like to ask the mods of this community to lock it -> redirect the people to a new community on another instance of their choosing.
Locking this community would be nice because even after lemm.ee shuts down this community and its history will be visible on other instances, but if I, for example, post something here afterwards it wont federate since lemm.ee (the community’s host instance) no longer takes posts from other instances and federate the new content to others. My new posts will only be visible to my fellow sopulis.
You’re welcome. Even though I mentioned the piefed community move function, I hesitate to move active communities there because it’s all still very new, both the instance and the software.
Regarding the situation with sillydrawingrequests, wouldn’t it be possible to link from the new community to the local copy of the old community either on the same instance as the new one or on some other major instance that may have the most old content? I’m not exactly sure how local copies work, if when a remote community gets added locally if the local instance copies all or only recent content.
Sadly I can’t help with that - I haven’t yet looked at all into piefed. Hope you find people who can help you out!
And I tried that but unfortunately a cool feature of lemmy (soon) and in many lemmy apps is kinda fighting against that: if I link sopuli’s version of it here, you’ll most likely get redirected to your local version of it for convenience (its a nice feature in general).
