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.

Meh. I think if users focused more on blocking what they don't want to see instead of defederating, then this wouldn't be an issue.

This is only a problem if you're one of the children who thinks: "I don't want to see something, so neither should anyone else."

Yeah exactly, defederation should be limited to instances with incompetent or malicious admins, not with crap communities.

The feature to allow a user to block a server not just a community should help with that.
