Basically, find the piefed.social copy of your community and then look for the 'move to piefed.social' link in the sidebar.
Thanks for this!
I've been meaning to try Piefed, but never got to it.
I've been informed this community 'move to piefed' feature only works for communities that are already subscribed from a piefed user, and I don't believe the lemmy-federate bot works here.
So some elbow grease may still be required.

What would it take to create a "piefederate" bot?
Update, so you can backfill, using
https://piefed.social/retrieve_remote_post
BUT if you want to backfill comments you need to use the comment url and not the post url
This could benefit from automation, but all the difficult parts are there.
Credit goes to Blaze they really know lemmy inside and out.
Also - If you edit a old post, that does get picked up by piefed.social even if it doesn't have the original post. so a edit does cause refederation... this works for comments too
It's pretty easy to implement. In fact, I was working on it. But I got discouraged because of some absurd political decisions. Still open to PRs though.
You can write a script for this:
# loop through all post
GET https://lemm.ee/api/v3/post/list?limit=50&sort=New&community_name=fedigrow&page=*page*
# take `post.ap_id` for each item
# then fetch it over activitypub on the other instance
GET https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/resolve_object?q=*urlencode post.ap_id*
# same thing for comments
GET https://lemm.ee/api/v3/comment/list?limit=50&sort=New&community_name=fedigrow&page=*page*
# again fetch
GET https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/resolve_object?q=*urlencode comment.ap_id*
~~Yeah but this would only make it available on that remote instance. OP wants to transfer the community to another instance along with its posts/comments.~~
edit: misunderstood. Ignore.
This community has moved to !fedigrow@lemmy.zip

To discuss how to grow and manage communities / magazines on Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed and Sublinks
