Is it possible? I’m with sh.itjust.works but I saw a few posts who were saying that my instance blocks certain stuff. Now I’m not thinking of jumping ship right this second just wondering if that is a possibility.

This is a how to use Lemmy question so better suited for one of the support communities - check out the sidebar for suggestions.

With that said, helping people spread out onto different instances is good stuff so I think this is good info to leave up.

Yeah, the idea of this post was to hopefully one day (in the neer futur) to switch to à smaller instance in hopes to spread out a bit.

You will need to make a new one.

Personally I recently did the same because lemmy.world didn’t commit to defederating meta and I didn’t want to stay there, but I am not very happy on .ml either, I get an insane amount of tankie crap on the all feed now and apparently no more nsfw posts.

I’m an anti capitalist myself but I strongly oppose the idea that someone preselects what communities are visible to me, on .world it felt much more organic and well rounded.

Ultimately I will just have to make my own instance i suppose.

Feel free to join https://lemmings.world! No censorship (except for illegal stuff obviously) and no federation with Meta. NSFW is fine, too.

Just block the communities you don’t want to see

The problem with that is you can’t unblock what your instance blocks/defederates from.

I mean, it’s certainly possible, just don’t know if anyone has made a tool for it yet, and if they did, where they talked about it/published it.

Yeah, migrating posts/comments is something I haven’t seen before. But syncing your subscriptions is already done here:

How will this migration actually work? The comments transfer over?

For a little perspective:

Mastodon has an official way of migrating your account. It migrates your followers and accounts you follow, but doesn’t migrate your posts afaik.

Migrating posts (and comments in Lemmy’s case) would be iffy in itself imho and I’m also not sure whether that would even be possible since posts are synchronized to federated instances, where they would have to be updated too.

Depends on the specific tool. Don’t think of this as a normal dev product. Think of it as an entire modding community. Who knows what they make?
