With the whole lemm.ee shutting down thing, there’s been a lot of interest in migrating communities and user accounts to piefed

Specifically piefed.social

Take the whole !television@lemm.ee to !television@piefed.social migration for example.

While viewing the piefed feed seems to work fine, there’s an issue with adding a piefed user to Vger.

I’ve registered @zabadoh@piefed.social but I can’t add that to Vger because the capcha doesn’t appear.

I know piefed isn’t exactly the same thing as Lemmy, but would you consider supporting adding piefed accounts?

    Absolutely. Based on fedidb, looks like lemm.ee is about 15% of mau.

    I was looking into switching this morning after hearing about the shut down. Seems interstellar is the only app that works for it right now.

    I’m on the fence. I know it’s a low bar but I don’t want to make a new account, learn a new app, and figure how to transfer my subscriptions and blocks. Might just wait until Lemmy 1.0 comes out and see if Voyager with support it and my instance will switch.

      Me too. Piefed looks interesting, but I’m happy to keep using Lemmy’s web interface and Voyager.

      As long as Lemmy users can migrate somewhere and be supported.

      and figure how to transfer my subscriptions

      That’s very simple. Just export your settings from Lemmy, import them into PieFed, done.

        Haha.

        I’m aware of how very low the bar is (look up what 2 buttons to press).

        I appreciate you trying to help me though. I really like that about Lemmy/Fediverse :)
