Pardon my ignorance if this is a dumb question, but can a community be moved from one instance to another? Like re-homed?
Seems like it’d be handy if the people running an instance start acting up or turning nazi or something and you want to distance your community from them.
Wouldn’t want a situation where people start concentrating communities on the instances that have the highest user counts, then that instance owner sells out to some mega corp or starts doing some shady stuff.
Would love for this to be a feature someday. It’d be hugely useful in a situation where an instance is closing down that has popular communities which would like to continue on elsewhere, that way all the content can carry over (including previous posts and existing subscribers/moderators), rather than having to start over from scratch every time.
IMO, both community and profile migrations, while not strictly necessary at the moment, are going to be crucial for the continuing success of lemmy/kbin in the future.
