I’m going to use this post answer some frequently asked questions about the transition from LemmyNSFW to FediNSFW and why it happened.
-
What happened, why the move?
-
Do I have to make a new account on FediNSFW?
- Yes.
-
Can I still post on LemmyNSFW?
-
Please don’t, that will make storage costs and data usage go up, eventually I plan to modify the site’s code to fully prevent post creation.
-
Please use FediNSFW instead.
-
-
How are you going to ensure the exact same thing won’t happen to FediNSFW?
- I already have other admin candidates I working with/onboarding.
- I plan to set up the accounts related to the site to be accessible by other admins via a unified admin email address, or via group access.
- I’m going to create a bitwarden vault with relevant credentials in it for all admins. That way if something happens and I disappear other admins can just login and take over.
- As far as cost goes, FOR NOW I can fully afford the cost of the server without donations, as far as I can tell at least.
- Currently the donations are just set to go into my personal account, but I would love to get to the point where we can set something up like or maybe joining the fedihosting foundation and have a pool of donations accessible without me. Not sure how I’m going to do that yet, so if you have suggestions, please let me know.

What apps can I use to connect to piefed/FediNSFW?
-
How can I donate to the instance?
The answers to these questions are subject to change/get appended as needed.


Sorry where do I create a backup?
@show_me_what_you_got_grrl@fedinsfw.app @BigMcLargeHuge@fedinsfw.app
Import a backup of your profile from lemmynstw into fedinsfw. On fedinsfw, navigate to the @lemmynsfw community, and go to the sidebar, below the moderators. If you were a mod of that community, you will see the option “Move community to fedinsfw.app”
I think i get it, not sure if I’m brave enough to do that, but I appreciate the detail
