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.

    Eventually it should be possible to do so. Mastodon allows migrating accounts and a Lemmy community is ultimately an “actor” under the ActivityPub protocol, just like any other Mastodon account.
