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.
Dude running a separate Lemmy sever would be very expensive for most people as you would need a significant amount of computing resources to host your on instance.
I just personally wouldn’t want someone duplicating and creating me an account on another instance. Maybe if it’s developed in the future you just get a notification asking if you’d like to follow this community to such and such instance. At that point you get a prompt to accept or deny. I’m fine with that.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
If you wanted to get help with moderating your own community then head over to [email protected]!

I disagree. If one is that important, I say those mods need to create their own instance.

Not true.
How so
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.
Interesting. What are you using to host your instance. Are you using a cloud service like AWS or are you running it on your own hardware?
A dedicated server. A bottom dollar one. Most of them you can scale up if anything takes off more than you expected.
They would still need to be able to migrate the community to their own instance.
Yeah I understand that but I just disagree with automatically moving people around between instances.
But that’s not what this conversation is about.
It would be the mod/admin who moves a community to a new instance, and the users would migrate themselves to follow the community.
Neither functionality exists but I agree that users should not be moved automatically unless it’s part of an SSO scenario.
That’s not what I read anywhere but I agree with the way you worded it.
I might have made some of that up but thank you for catching the intent of it.
Why?
