Hello, I'd like to try moving my Lemmy instance to another server.
I've read this: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/backup_and_restore.html and it seems relatively straightforward. So I was wondering if anyone has done it and if there's any particular advice to keep in mind.
The images, which are the "heaviest" part, I have in S3 so I don't have to move them, and therefore the backup/restore should be less complex and shorter, I think.

Most important when moving servers is the TTL of your domain's DNS. It instructs other servers on how long they should cache your domain's IP.
I'd set it to 5 minutes now. And when you're ready to actually move you can put it down to seconds so that everyone else can immediately get the IP of the new server.
