With a 10:3 ratio in support for migrating the community off of lemmy.world as suggested by @Blaze@sopuli.xyz in this post, we will run a trial period of migrating the community over to !football@lemm.ee

Trial period

We will run a trial period of 2 months on lemm.ee to see how stable the instance is. Since all of you who discussed potential instances only had good things to say about the instance, expect the trial period to just be formality though.

Locking down football@lemmy.world

The FootballAutoMod has been configured to automatically lock down any new posts and tell the posters to repost in the new community. While I could lock the community completely, I think this solution might help inform those of you who maybe don’t check in on the community regularly.

Why lemm.ee

It’s a moderately large EU-based instance with little to no drama as far as I know. The admin team seems to be competent and maintains a neutral stance with few defederations across the fediverse. The instance also got multiple recommendations amongst our users.

    Yeah, found the bug.

    If you’re curious about the details. When the script gets the list of most recent posts from lemmy, pinned posts are at the start of the list. Since I had the script break the loop once it discovered a post older than last time it checked for new posts, it would always break the loop on the first post since the migration post is pinned. Should be fixed now.
