Hi,
I seem to remember there being an option to “retrieve remote post”, but I can’t seem to find it (nor did a search give me anything useful). Am I imagining that such a an option existed?
Several posts from this community are not showing up on Piefed.social:
https://lemmy.world/c/hardware
How it looks via Piefed.social:
Solution:
It’s in the siderbar, under the list of moderators (3rd link).
I see, yes I was actually starting to wonder about that (I mod/curate c/hardware).
Side note, I wish I had started the hardware community on piefed.social! Originally took over a dormant LW community when I figured out the only hardware community was on ML (which I am not going to interact with).
Oh, you are welcome to move it to piefed.social. Just go to https://piefed.social/c/hardware@lemmy.world then click on ‘move community to piefed.social’.
The followers on piefed.social will automatically be subscribed to hardware@piefed.social but people on Lemmy instances will need to manually join. So it’s not ideal.
I’ve done that with a smaller tech community (monitors), the inability to move subscribers is unfortuntely a dealbreaker (although I can understand the drawbacks to such an approach).
Been meaning to move laptops and gaming laptops communities. Need to get on that. :)
My 2 cents : if you put a pinned post on the old community, and then post reminders weekly for a few weeks, most of the people will move.
Might do that, let me think about it. )
Yeah it’s really only good for emergencies like when lemm.ee went away.
I’ve just finished coding a function to move posts to different communities (and update all piefed instances about the move), so now doing the same thing for communities (and all PieFed followers on all instances would follow the community on it’s new instance) will be next.
Cheers! Looking forward to that!
