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’m running one. It doesn’t require a lot of resources.

If you end up with a crazy substantial amount of users it can get dicey, but if the community is that amazing the donations would probably roll in.
