Communities should be able to move servers - Lemmy.world

Idea: if you mod a community on a lemmy.somewhere you should be able to migrate it to lemmy.elsewhere which would include all post & comment links being forwarded and subbed users having their subscription updated to reflect the new location. I’m aware this would be a way down the road as user account migration alone is still not great but it would be a great feature for the fediverse to have to avoid centralisation and mod/server admin wars.

I disagree. If one is that important, I say those mods need to create their own instance.

They would still need to be able to migrate the community to their own instance.

Yeah I understand that but I just disagree with automatically moving people around between instances.

But that’s not what this conversation is about. It should be the mod or admin who move a community to a new instance, and the users who migrate themselves to follow them community.

That’s not what I read anywhere but I agree with the way you worded it.

I might have made some of that up but thank you for catching the intent of it.
