Can a community be “moved”? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Unfortunately, this is not a feature (yet). Only thing you can do is to shut off the community by making it mod-post only and then have a stickied post in it. I did that when I moved fossdroid from lemmy.ml to my own instance.

Also, with the admins of lemmy.ml (who are also the main developers of Lemmy) being tankies, yet so many people are on there, I believe that apparently, most people don't really care.
