That’s the exact kind of messy migration I want to avoid.

Agreed. I wish I could transfer my SDF communities over here but it’s not possible, sadly.

Whatever they once were, they suck now.

Whatever it is, as a SDF member, I curse the day I decided to support them. I paid SDF because I believe in paying for what I use, and it turns out to be the worst service I use by a long shot. Why I didn’t open my first Lemmy account on a more reliable instance for free, I’ll never know…
