It’s so easy to change instances, and there are extensions and things to export/import your subscriptions, etc. Just head over to one ones that’s hosting the content, or check out others to see if they will keep federated with the pirate communities. Make the same username, and most won’t even know that you’re posting from a different instance. You can still see everything you did before, just also possibly some other stuff. You might also get beehaw and hexbear (for better or for worse is up to you)! I feel like I might hop instances a few more times before I settle.

Can you make a recommendation for a tool to migrate “subscriptions etc.”? I’m using Connect if that makes a difference.

Also, Lemmy.world has been very unreliable lately anyway. Does Lemmy.ee have a good reliability record?

github.com/CMahaff/lasim is the general recommendation
