Unless Piefed gets a database import ability to port Existing Lemmy databases to that I don’t think Switching to it would be such a great idea. It would mean starting our instance from scratch and losing everything we have content, user registrations, communities. If Sublinks hadn’t stalled it could be a promising alternative, and maybe will be in the future, since it’s built around that whole concept of database and API compatibility.

Not really, because PieFed can already copy/migrate community content.
Futhermore, there are lot functionalities that will improve your user experience as tags, flairs, tile view, multi-community, filter, wiki…they did that in 6 months whereas it was a lemmy issue since 2020.
PieFed is compatible with Lemmy API. But, it still a WIP, we need more python developper. :)
Can it copy the existing database structure? Like could an instance migrate and have users just login to the piefed instance as if nothing had changed? If not point remains. Migrating software later in the life cycle of the platform is a destructive process, and one done with very little purpose considering the nature of open-source software.
Sorry, i’m replying late. I don’t know well enough migration tool. @rimu@piefed.social did a demo there :

If you migrate dbzer0 to piefed, I’ll send you a decent donation to help cover some of the costs.
