Moderators interested in migrating to a new community on another instance might want to consider selecting an instance and doing so sooner rather than later so that users here have time to see a migration post here and subscribe to the new community.
It appears to be [email protected], for anyone looking.
PieFed apparently has some functionality like this; the [email protected] migration to [email protected] did this, and old posts—including, importantly, a new copy of images posted by lemm.ee users now hosted on piefed.social—are visible on that instance. I have not seen old posts yet show up on my own instance as of this writing, and am not sure whether they will do so or are even expected to do so.

Honestly, there aren’t that many posts in this community’s history—only ~240-and-change—and it’d be a shame to lose the images. Tell you what, @[email protected] and @[email protected]. I’ll go ahead and take the initiative and go through and manually repost the history myself to the new community with what images I can recover, and upload to lemmy.today’s pict-rs instance; not all are still accessible.
Also, given that catbox.moe—another popular place to host content posted to the Threadiverse—is also at risk of going down, probably a good thing to get anything on there off anyway, if anyone’s used that.
Well, just today — i’ve stuffed all of the posts (and most of the sources) into archive.is, just in case.
I’m not super-active as you’ve pointed out…

sorry, i’m replying all out of order and all over this thread – what i get for failing to read and replying from my inbox…
If there’s an automated way to migrate to piefed.social that includes the comments, media and ideally attribiution for all of the old posts that would be cool. I’ll investigate those options a little
retrolemmy.com is another possibility, but idk anything much about it yet
