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.

    I have a feeling we’ll be seeing 3rd party software that addresses this particular need. It is probably not particularly high-priority atm though.

        They outnumber the actual devs by an arbitrarily high number to 1.

          The nice thing about open source is that you can just contribute the feature if it’s important to you instead of needing to make an external utility to do it.
