I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite well (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Context: I tried to use the Piefed migration feature to migrate !barcelona@lemm.ee to !barcelona@piefed.social

https://piefed.social/c/barcelona now exists, with all the existing posts there, as well as the icon and description.

It even moved some subscribers (there are around 100 now), from what I understand those were Piefed subscribers that got automatically moved.

The one caveat is that from Lemmy instances, the community doesn't have show old posts (see https://lemm.ee/c/barcelona@piefed.social), but if you were restarting a community from scratch you wouldn't have access to your old posts anyway.

This ensure that at least the posts are transferred to a community on an active instance, which is probably the main concern for lemm.ee communities at the moment.

Where is piefed.social hosted? A whois lookup only shows cloudflare, which is a US company.

Before moving european communities there, this should be clarified.

https://join.piefed.social/try/ says they are hosted in Europe. I assume they are using Cloudflare only for DDos-protection?

Cloudflare also does domain registration and with that you can enable ownerships obfuscation.
