I have two lemm.ee communities and I very much want to keep the post history in one community for discover ability and archival purposes.
What tools and methods are available to transfer posts from one instance to another?

@rimu@piefed.social @iso@lemy.lol
What would it take to create a “piefederate” bot?
Update, so you can backfill, using
https://piefed.social/retrieve_remote_post
BUT if you want to backfill comments you need to use the comment url and not the post url
This could benefit from automation, but all the difficult parts are there.
Credit goes to Blaze they really know lemmy inside and out.
Also - If you edit a old post, that does get picked up by piefed.social even if it doesn’t have the original post. so a edit does cause refederation… this works for comments too
@jet@hackertalks.com is working on automating the retrieval of comments, we just discussed this on the #piefed-general:matrix.org chat
It’s pretty easy to implement. In fact, I was working on it. But I got discouraged because of some absurd political decisions. Still open to PRs though.
