    Hi there,

    The community migration feature that PieFed has is quite limited - no posts are actually transferred from the old instance to the new one. All that happens is that a remote community (which might have only received a few posts as piefed.blahaj.zone is very new) is reassigned to be a local community and all the posts in it too.

    That’s why !Womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone has only 5 days of posts.

    It’s a bit “smoke and mirrors”.

    On a more mature instance, like piefed.social, which has been subscribed to communities for a long time the instance has most of the history of most communities so the migration feature works relatively well.

    Somewhat unrelated, but good luck with the move! Hopefully Piefed moderation features will make things more manageable. :)
