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.

    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.

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

        I just personally wouldn’t want someone duplicating and creating me an account on another instance. Maybe if it’s developed in the future you just get a notification asking if you’d like to follow this community to such and such instance. At that point you get a prompt to accept or deny. I’m fine with that.
