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.

Risky. Some hacker exploits a vulnerability, takes over the community and migrates it to some other server.... then what?

Also, if a community leaves a specific server, what stops anyone else from re-creating it in the original server?
