I thought part of the difference with piefed is that it's not a drop-in replacement that can hook into current databases, such that an instance would have to start afresh on a new subdomain, and users would have to sign-up again, re-subscribe to their communities, etc. Is that the case, or was I mistaken?
You're correct. On the other hand, Piefed is more or less usable today, and regularly gets updates. Sublinks hasn't had meetings or progress for over 6 months.
For better or worse that still makes migration a much bigger pill to swallow though.
Seems like everyone just proved yesterday that a community could be migrated in a few hours if needed ๐
More seriously, you're correct, it will probably happen gradually with a few early adopters
