Although there are existing instances of Mbin and PieFed that I would guess would not have that problem, bc they already have posts in their own respective formats? And any new Lemmy instance I thought would have the same issues - as in even if an older post would federate, the comments and votes that happened prior to that action would not (if I’m reading https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/1907501 correctly), plus even existing ones like aussie.zone seem like they can lose content if the backlog of bulk sending of actions does not get cleared within 7 days time.
Still, it’s an excellent point about existing instances already running Lemmy not wanting to switch to Mbin or PieFed, but that could perhaps switch to Sublinks.
Though individual users could move, and still keep posting to the same communities as they had been.
Thank you for the explanation.
