European Graphic Novels+ is moving to PieFed.Social (link & info in post)
from JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social to newcommunities@lemmy.world on 27 Jun 09:59
https://piefed.social/post/980252

With much thanks to PF’s site-runner, as well as good advice from @Blaze@piefed.social, we’ve successfully moved!

NEW ADDRESS:
piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels
OLD ADDRESS:
lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels

On the positive tip, we were able to preserve ~390 out of ~550 historical posts, so that’s better than starting over. On a more sobering side, it looks like we’re going to lose most of our (current) ~1,260 subscribers, and PieFed being a different instance, running different software, it’s not clear to me if we’re going to get the same exposure to “ALL” streams that we once enjoyed.

While it’s true that I can invite individual members to join, it seems that (unlike PF), the Lemmy software doesn’t allow me to see a list of subscribers, even as the founder and head mod. If anyone has any ideas on that, feel free to advise…

In any case, I hope you find something you might like at our (now smaller 😅) community / sub-lemmy.

(it's our community banner, with slices of 26 classics included)

Interesting choice over literature.cafe

JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social on 27 Jun 10:12 collapse

Ruh-roh. Does lemmy.cafe have a content migration feature as well?

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al on 27 Jun 10:23 collapse

Sorry, meant literature.cafe and whilst no, the upsides outweigh the historical data IMO.

JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee on 27 Jun 11:44 collapse

the upsides outweigh the historical data IMO.

Err… may I ask, based on what?

Personally, I put in hundreds of hours in to hundreds of mini-articles in the body of those ~400 posts I created across ~two years. For me, it would have to be an absolutely stellar set of features and security for me to go to some other instance which didn’t have the means to migrate anything over. Like, what would be the point, mate…?

Make sure you make a sticky post in the old community with the new address before lemm.ee shuts down. That way it will stick at the top of folks feeds, even after the instance is down, and people who find the old community will be able to tell at a glance what the new address is

JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social on 27 Jun 10:19 collapse

There is indeed such a post (as you should be able to see?), but the link is in the body of the post (several times), not as a direct hotlink.

The issue I've always had with the standard Lemmy software is that it allows either a hotlink or an image in the 'URL' field, but not both. Take a look if you have a minute and let me know what you think, please?

ada@piefed.blahaj.zone on 27 Jun 10:34 collapse

The format you want is !communityname @ instance.tld

So !eurographicnovels@piefed.social

JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee on 27 Jun 11:39 next collapse

Oh, right… instead of an absolute URL-style link.
Good point, thank you!

JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social on 27 Jun 22:42 collapse

Okay, what think about it now?

I've put the link in the banner / description, as well as added it to the stickied 'move post.'

Looks good, and should remain visible that way on other instances after lemm.ee goes down!

JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social on 28 Jun 13:40 collapse

Danke, mein Freund, and we seem to have some similar traits & interests. I've subscribed to your "Demos" community, and hope I can maybe contribute in future. 🤓

AbnormalHumanBeing@lemmy.abnormalbeings.space on 27 Jun 10:31 next collapse

!eurographicnovels@piefed.social for people from other instances as an easy link.

Piefed has a lot of cool mod and admin tools (and other features), hope you will be happy with the new home! I moved my subscription.

JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee on 27 Jun 11:36 next collapse

Thanks, Abby Normal!
Btw, if you happen to know of any communities which might be interested in us, please give a holler…

Microw@piefed.zip on 27 Jun 12:06 collapse

For some reason I can not access the new community coming from piefed.zip . Fetching it fails.

AbnormalHumanBeing@lemmy.abnormalbeings.space on 27 Jun 12:08 collapse

Try fetching them again - speaking only from experience with my own (Lemmy) server, when fetching a community not yet “visible” to it, reloading the link twice does the trick.

That being said, I just checked - I’m getting a server outage notice when trying to go on piefed.social.

Microw@piefed.zip on 27 Jun 12:21 collapse

Ah yes, looks like piefed.social is currently having an outage or trouble. That explains it

Glad to see this! I don’t remember the password for my old lemm.ee account, but this was the only community I could think of that I would have missed from my subscriptions, so now you’ve saved me the effort of going looking for it.

Happy to have you, once again! ^^
