  • Only if those posts are already on the piefed instance at the time of migration.

    For example if nobody was subscribed to the community or if the piefed instance is new then none of the backlog will be migrated.

    There is a manual way to import posts one at a time, so that’s a option.

    I’m excited for the future of piefed. At this moment there are real tradeoffs community owners need to consider.

    Sadly it’s not quite feature complete.

    Yes, it will take an existing community and make a piefed community from it, but it wont import old posts, and it wont re-federate the old community content into the new community

    lemmy-federate doesn’t support piefed yet, so federating your new community may be troublesome

    the main piefed.social instance has strong opinions on defederation that may limit community reach (in fact this is why lemmy-federate doesnt support piefed)





  • You can write a script using the API to delete your comments.

    If your a instance admin you can nuke a user and all their content in a few clicks

    If the information is very sensitive then you need to do more then mark messages as deleted, federation means copies are everywhere. The best you can hope for is update the message to something else, wait a few days for it to federate, then delete it, wait a few days for that to federate, then nuke it

    Make a new account, transfer the community to the new account, in your original account leave the mod team, in the new account purge the account

    This will remove the communities from your account, and not leave them with a fake moderator, they will be clearly abandoned
