[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 4 points 1 year ago (8 children) Interested, how do I move an instance from Lemmy to piefed? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Quokka 4 points 1 year ago (5 children) At the moment, you basically have to restart it all with a fresh install of PieFed on your server. They are working on features options to transfer over and copy the content etc, but that may be many months away still. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) So I will stick on Lemmy for the time being. After all I don't care for down votes, I think votes in general should not be private, because this is like a public plaza what you say is public, and attaching a reputation because of down votes is dangerously bullying and a slippery slope, so piefed doesn't actually feel like my pie at the moment. Still maybe I will try a fresh installation just to check it out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago I think votes in general should not be private, because this is like a public plaza what you say is public, and attaching a reputation because of down votes is dangerously bullying and a slippery slope, so piefed doesn’t actually feel like my pie at the moment. I agree with this, both of these things are bad on their own but together they are extremely bad. Like it encourages the same groupthink as there is on Reddit while also allowing easy vote manipulation to help yourself and hurt others. Really bad combination. permalink fedilink source parent [+] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Quokka 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I could have, and I still have the old Lemmy server around to do so if I wanted but it wasn’t deemed worth the effort. It was mostly world news, and who reads old news. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment load more comments (1 reply) [–] GreatBlueHeron@piefed.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (1 child) I'm not a server admin., just a user. The Lemmy instance I'm on setup a Piefed instance in parallel and is giving users the option to use either, or both. I'm still trying to get my head around the history and the pros/cons of each but for now it seems like I'm switching to Piefed. I imagine that if most users move then the Lemmy instance might get shutdown in the future. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment load more comments (1 reply)
