The change won't be noticeable until we start adding new features. The main reason to create Sublinks is to move quicker with features & functionality that the current Lemmy team cannot maintain for various reasons.
It’s just that I’ve had to create new accounts before (because of incompatibility) and recreate subscriptions, loose post history etc. Also because of instances not being maintained.
I just thought discuss.online was different and a more stable place to be. If you do migrate discuss.online will we still be able access and contribute to our subscribed Lemmy communities?
Yes, it’s a drop-in replacement for Lemmy. The only thing you may notice is having to reset your password because the password hashing is currently different on Sublinks. Everything else will be the same or better.
It’s a migration to Sublinks not a switch. That means all data will be transferred over.
Let me just check I’ve got this right.
Sub links is an enhanced version of Lemmy with some extra features. It works with normal Lemmy Clients. We’ll still be able to access our existing Lemmy communities but if our account is on a sublink instance then we’ll be able to take advantage of the enhancements in sublink communities.
We won’t need to migrate anything across manually, just log out and log in.
Yes, that sums it up pretty well.
Thank you
