Be careful because Kiwi in the latest release insert a lot of tracking: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/it/reports/com.kiwibrowser.browser/latest/
I understand doubts, especially if there is a lot of work to do I think it is right to ask as many questions as possible.
Personally I think of at least two other reasons for changing the instance:
the first is a possible problem with the moderators / admin. For example in case they did questionable operations.
The second concerns me more personally: I opened a community here because there are no Italian instances. It took me a few months to convince people to sign up here, it would be ironic to tell them “no, now re-sign up somewhere else”.
Since in this thread we talked about how to invite people to subscribe and / or how to create more instances for me this is one of the reasons that pushes me not to try.
In the meantime, thanks for the discussion and listening
People are often lazy, especially if I convinced them to join the “xxx instead of reddit” site to follow me. It would definitely be counterproductive to tell them again “ah no now you have to follow me on yyy, not xxx anymore”.
Obviously it is right to consider the work to be done and the right priorities. Personally I love Lemmy, I would be a little sorry to be somehow linked to this instance “forever”, I think the idea of decentralization and faithful universe is a little less.
just my thoughts :)
Yes, on Mastodon there is an “export” and “import” settings for the followers (not for the post): https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/ and on the old istance remain just a placeholder that redirect on new profile/instances.
I’m glad the idea is of your interest :)
Also this is one of the most important feature (for me) on the fediverse. If an instance “goes bad” it’s good transfer all on other istance. By the way my question was in this topic because i already have 100followers on my community and this is one of the reason can’t open another istance if i can’t import all the followers.
no, without link works well: https://lemmy.ml/post/180482
I have the same problem (every browser). On my console:

And can’t upload any image, give this error:
I had to restore an old backup because in no way had the problem resolved itself.
If you’re interested on GitHub they suggested this to me: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2653#issuecomment-1380541659 unfortunately the suggestion came after I restored the backup and I couldn’t try it.
If you’ll try it let me know if it works or not!
