You can register on a Piefed instance and use Lemmy’s subscription export feature and Piefed’s import feature to retain your subscriptions. Porting comments/posts isn’t a thing.
There’s work underway creating migration scripts for Lemmy databases to be imported to Piefed, but that is a tool for instance administrators only, of course.
You create a new account on a Piefed instance. There’s a lot to choose from like Piefed.social, piefed.ca, piefed.blahaj.zone, etc
Theres a lot of animosity right now between some Piefed and Lemmy users for some reason. I use both, I dunno why people are picking this fight right now, it seems pretty fucking dumb to me.
To users they’re both mostly the same but PieFed has more features and a much better UX, so it’s the one I choose to promote.
I’m not sure there’s a better UX. Take a look at the recent code analysis: https://lemmy.ml/post/42415919/23662293
I think the current behavior is very confusing. Unless you’re an instance admin, you don’t know whether these features are enabled or not.
But how does one switch from Lemmy to Piefed?
