I’m currently on lemm.ee and I’d like to migrate to lemmy.eco.br, both are using the 0.19.5 backend version.

I remember reading some discussions in the past about being able to migrate instances, is it already possible? Is it being developed? How’s the status of this feature?

    You can achieve that by adding a link to your old profile from the new and vice versa.

    To my knowledge, this is not possible at the moment.

    Indeed, and probably never going to happen. Even Mastodon do not support actual migration, they just add a redirection to your new profile from the old and vice versa.

      Some other fediverse software like hubzilla and sharkey let you migrate posts, so I wouldn’t say it’ll never happen. I don’t think anyone is working on it though, so probably not anytime soon.

        Thanks, I wasn’t aware. Microblogs seems to be easier to manage than threads, so it might be more difficult for Lemmy

        can import your exported posts from Mastodon and most of its forks, Pleroma / Akkoma, Misskey / Firefish and forks, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, including attachments (threading may not work perfectly, and other people’s replies to your posts may not get imported)
