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.

then the question is why the hell did you make an account on an instance that doesn't want to interact with NSFW content (presumably it's in their rules) when you want to interact with NSFW content; like I don't see why you'd do that if you knew the rules beforehand

Do you understand what the point of federation is? The point is to have one single account to interact with the whole Fediverse. It shouldn't matter where you register your account, all Fediverse should be accessible to you.

that's not the point; the point is to not have a single group dominate the site and to make it easier to avoid bad actors (bigots + fascists, because there's a lot of that online) by just blocking the instance they live on

the "one single account" thing is a bonus, but definitely not the main reason for federation
