I’ll follow whereever you go, but curious if sh.itjust.works is a good instance for you to consider? English/French and hosted in Canada. Been my home base since the Reddit API thing and very much enjoying my time here.
That said, question— is Piefed the only instance that would allow post migration? Personally I think that’s the most important thing. I don’t want content to be lost if it can be avoided.

I like SJW, but I know some people don’t want to browse !movies@sh.itjust.works on their work network due to the name.
Piefed.social is the flagship instance. There is feddit.online. Over time other Piefed instances will probably appear, but we have to make a decision and migrate before the end of the month.

Thanks for that. Can understand the URL at work thing.
As for the second part, I think my preference would be to find an instance to which the existing content can be migrated. If that’s the main piefed or others, or another Lemmy server, I don’t particularly have a preference, but let’s not lose the community that’s been built to this point.

The content is not leaving a anywhere it’s already been federated.

But it won’t show up on new instances, which means insurance churn will erode it away from the broader fediverse. It could be a centralizing force if new instances can never access historical posts.
