Has anyone ever migrated a Lemmy instance to Piefed? (dubvee.org)

Basically the title. I'd like to not lose anything and import users, communities, posts/comments, etc to hit the ground running but on a more stable platform.

@rimu@piefed.social Is that possible?

Tagging @rimu@piefed.social as mentions don't work in post bodies, only in comments.

Would be interesting indeed to have a database migration script or so.

Watching as I'm curious

I doubt that's possible, but everything is possible with software, so I hope someone has made a script to do so

Isn't this not possible just for Lemmy itself? E.g. programmatically moving a community (post, comments, subs, automatic redirect etc) from one instance to another.
