N=1, maybe people aren't experiencing the same thing, but I was hoping to move all my whatsapp chats over to Signal and never expected anyone to care because I've watched the internet do it's thing for the last 10 years. Much to my surprise someone else suggested it and within 30 minutes all of my groups had moved over and with very little loss of membership. I was shocked at how quickly things moved, including my parents in my family groups, and how willing non-tech people were to move. YMMV, but it may not. Give it a shot.
