Migration from Lemmy to Piefed? (news.erebion.eu)

Hello, I installed Lemmy a while ago only to realise it is Piefed that I want to use. Are there any migration paths?

I don't host any communities and I'm the only user. There are no images to migrate. Only need to migrate my replies and subscriptions. :)

We plan to work on a possible migration script or so at the end of the year. But it will take time and I am really not an expert on these things. If you want to help out investigating the database structure etc. you are more than welcome.

I am currently thinking that a stand alone python script to copy over the data from a Lemmy database to a fresh Piefed instance would be the best, but migrating the pictures from Pictrs would be another problem then...

I don't know anything about databases, unfortunately. Though I'd happily test the script with my simple setup, as I have neither communities not images. :D
