With a 10:3 ratio in support for migrating the community off of lemmy.world as suggested by @[email protected] in this post, we will run a trial period of migrating the community over to [email protected]
We will run a trial period of 2 months on lemm.ee to see how stable the instance is. Since all of you who discussed potential instances only had good things to say about the instance, expect the trial period to just be formality though.
The FootballAutoMod has been configured to automatically lock down any new posts and tell the posters to repost in the new community. While I could lock the community completely, I think this solution might help inform those of you who maybe don’t check in on the community regularly.
It’s a moderately large EU-based instance with little to no drama as far as I know. The admin team seems to be competent and maintains a neutral stance with few defederations across the fediverse. The instance also got multiple recommendations amongst our users.

I don’t think the Lemmy API exposes the subscriber list of a community, you’ll need access to the instance database.
What I did was checking every post for the last 365 days for user activity and store every user that have interacted with the community.
lemmy_session and lemmy_references are the same as for the LiveThreadBot (inside the src folder): https://gitlab.com/UlrikHD/lemmy-match-thread-bot
get_posts() may be missing from the lemmy_session.py file though
Excuse the ugly code, it was written as a one-off
and this part creates txt for easy copy pasting for tagging.
Thank a lot, i will share on our Meta community so we can save it and setup an migration bot. :)
I also shared this idea so maybe Piefed can integrate it into its core with a migration button where you add the new address and subcribers will receive a notification to join the new one.
