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.
Think of it like an email address. Any account you have can talk to any other email provider, there are no limitations on that.
If you are not happy with your email provider (Lemmy instance), you can always create a new address at another provider and use that one. There are currently no features to automatically migrate all your history, but that may come.
