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.

That would be a great feature.

That's just federation. I seeing this community on my instance. I am not a part of lemmy.world.

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 would be the mod/admin who moves a community to a new instance, and the users would migrate themselves to follow the community.

Neither functionality exists but I agree that users should not be moved automatically unless it's part of an SSO scenario.

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