Welcome to Cassette Futurism Lemmy and Mbin Community.
A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.
Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

@Scirocco@lemm.ee @sag@lemm.ee Any plans on moving this community to another instance?
I've made one one on .world
TBH I am not particularly adept in the fediversification things and not sure
should we attempt to (is there a method for...) port any/all of the posts over there? Is there a way to "reassign" them? Hopefully with an automated tool of some sort.....
It appears to be !CassetteFuturism@lemmy.world, for anyone looking.
PieFed apparently has some functionality like this; the !InternetIsBeautiful@lemm.ee migration to !InternetIsBeautiful@piefed.social did this, and old posts---including, importantly, a new copy of images posted by lemm.ee users now hosted on piefed.social---are visible on that instance. I have not seen old posts yet show up on my own instance as of this writing, and am not sure whether they will do so or are even expected to do so.

Honestly, there aren't that many posts in this community's history---only ~240-and-change---and it'd be a shame to lose the images. Tell you what, @Scirocco@lemm.ee and @sag@lemm.ee. I'll go ahead and take the initiative and go through and manually repost the history myself to the new community with what images I can recover, and upload to lemmy.today's pict-rs instance; not all are still accessible.
Also, given that catbox.moe---another popular place to host content posted to the Threadiverse---is also at risk of going down, probably a good thing to get anything on there off anyway, if anyone's used that.
