The migration of large communities from Reddit to Lemmy is like a world-renowned band performing an acoustic set in a library for 50 people. (self.fediverse)

The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn't quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.

The page here explains getting a database dump on a running instance (and how to restore): https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/backup_and_restore.html

Then just back up the other files in the volumes directory where Lemmy is installed (everything except postgres, which is what the database dump does).

The pictrs volume includes both the uploaded images and the image cache. I have no idea how to separate out the uploaded images so you don't have to back up the cache, I just back it all up.
