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.

Related question: do you need to create a new account for every instance you try to use? How does this stuff work?

Not necessarily. You can subscribe to a specific community on another instance by searching from your "home" instance with !<communityname>@<server> and subscribing from there.

This is so complicated lmao

It’s pretty easy if you’re doing it from within an app (e.g., Memmy here)

I found connect, idk which others work well on Android. I couldn't seem to find liftoff. This is definitely better than mobile browser but the markdown options are kinda shitty on here tbh

Same as reddit though? Now you just put @server.url after the subreddit/community name when going there directly from the address bar on pc

You get used to it pretty quick

I'm not great with change haha. But yeah I'm sure I'll adjust.
