This is a place to share resources and coordinate projects to assist in the migration away from legacy social media.

it would be really nice if Lemmy.world closed their registrations and ability to create new communities so other instances could catch up...

[–] dilroopgill@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

that would just confuse ppl trying to sign up, theyd think the whole forum is closed

Experience from 12 days ago from someone using join-lemmy: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35480016

In summary: it was quite messy, they ended up on a unmaintained, slow instance and had to change

Yeah, i guess https://join-lemmy.org/ is a project under development.

No it wouldn't be really nice, plus Beehaw, ShitJustWorks, Blahaj are big enough

I said "big enough" & no one's stopping them from migrating to Other instances

Inertia is a predominant effect for users. Also, a lot of people setup their LW accounts when Sync defaulted to it and have no idea how to migrate as it's not an option in the app

Even then I rather have them here than Reddit, let's get them on Lemmy & then we'll deal with fallout

We can work on migration features after we get critical mass (I want Lemmy to grow & Reddit to perish/diminish, that's all)
