This will take place ~24 hours from now. Feel free to post and upvote questions beforehand in this post, as it will turn into the AMA tomorrow.
This is a chance for any users, admins, or developers to ask anything they’d like to myself, @nutomic@lemmy.ml , @SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml , or @phiresky@lemmy.ml about Lemmy, its future, and wider issues about the social media landscape today.
Isn’t that implemented in the 19.2 and later versions? I just migrated using that feature a few days back, worked quite well
That would be awesome if true. It’s processing faster than I thought. I’m still just learning about the scaled sort and enjoying that new feature lol.
I’m pretty sure it is there, you can export and import your subscriptions in the settings
It’s only subscriptions, blocks, and user settings iirc. Your posts and comments don’t migrate for example.
Still that’s not bad. Wish they could get saved posts to transfer, too. That would be useful.
Importing posts and comments could cause a security risk if someone would to abuse that function.
Even Mastodon doesn’t support it

More importantly it would make exports extremely large and would cause a lot of server load to import/export. Plus you would end up with duplicate posts and comments which seems like a bad idea.
Yes, that’s what I meant by security risk, that’s like a DoS feature.
