Caveat up front: I don't actually know much about them, so maybe this post doesn't necessarily fit here... Sorry if that's the case! If they're like not cool or something, somebody please let me know lol.

Reddit banned all the open hardware/3d printed/FOSS gun subs, so they started a Lemmy instance. It's even got an archive of ported-over posts. Here's some of their communities:

Not sure who all is or isn't federated with them, but they're visible for me on piefed.social?

Yeah, the instance is blocked on lemmy.world's end. I saw something about the admins nuking our fosscad community because they "don't want anything to do with unregistered firearms" so it tracks.

Guess I'll have to think about migrating.

Is it possible to move my account or do I have to make a new one?

[-] Carmakazi@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

You have to make a new one, unfortunately.
