We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar
Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Don't you hate when that happens? Pictures are currently busted on my instance and the admin, while a pretty cool person I think, has been ominously quiet about it... 😅
Have we (Lemmy or the fediverse in general) ever landed on a "best practices" with respect to migrating accounts and one's old content? Presumably if your instance goes down, any of your content that ever federated out exists somewhere or other, right? So could you just put a link in your profile, that leads to your previous account, but as seen through some (still existing) instance? Like: lemmy.b/u/old_account@lemmy.a
I guess that only works if by some chance instance b happened to catch EVERY post you made, which would require at least one person on b being subscribed to each community you ever posted in, right?
Yes, but if you use a popular instance, chances are high that they have every community you posted to
I haven't heard of any best practices regarding migrating accounts other than just make a new account and start over. Apps that log you into lemmy/kbin/mbin etc might try and solve that by having all your old posts get mirrored to an instance on your new account but it would have to be in a way that does not spam the other instances version of the community the posts were shared to. I guess if you use a timestamp on posts you could have the migrated posts appear before the newer ones after migrating?
