The lemm.ee instance will shut down at the end of the month, where should the community move ?

I'm quite enjoying PieFed, would that work?
- Piefed even allows for transferring of communities (posts and all).
  
  Stupid question time: Is piefed just part of activitypub or is it a lemmy instance?
  
  The former.
  PieFed is built with Python, one of the most widely used programming languages. Care has been taken to construct it in the simplest way possible, enabling contributions from programmers of all skill levels and keeping server costs down. This will greatly speed PieFed’s development process and widen its adoption.
  
  Whoa, that's cool. I hope lemm.ee goes there. I'm happy currently with sh.itjust.works, but it's nice to know there's another place to go.
  
  lemm.ee as an instance is over. But the users could ~~move over there~~ register on a piefed instance and communities can seemingly be properly transferred
  this could be piefed's moment.
  
  Would be awesome if there was a way to do this with user accounts as well. Especially with news like this, that's a missing piece of this federation business. Because even once you've settled on lan instance, there's no guarantee it's going to stay open long term. And it kinda sucks on the user's end to lose all your comment and post history like that. And saved posts.
  Not that I blame that on any admins, I can understand their decision. Just riffing about the user experience here in the Fediverse. If you can re-index communities and posts therein, that gives me hope that you could potentially do that with a user account.
  
  It's really only the saved posts I would miss. It would be a shame to have never looked at them once.
  
  Well, the posts and comments do live on on the views of those communities on other instances, as long as someone subscribed to the communities.
  Kagi has a "Fediverse Forums" search lens that can search all the instances, so you could maybe search for your username and a snippit of text from that comment if you use that. My guess is that as long as the Threadiverse grows, other people will probably work on searchability too.
