I think I remember this became possible. I’d like to know how to do it and what the effects would be.
- Would I lose all post history?
- Would there be issues with the posts votes?
- Do I need a mod account from thr instance being moved to etc?
If anyone has seen a post with a guide I’d love a link or if you have experience I’d love to hear.
Thank you.

That’s good. Thanks for the link
I think you’re remembering wrong. The communities that have moved so far have been a manual affair: a post on the old community with a “We’ve moved” post, locking that community, and starting up brand new somewhere else. It’s a fresh start - nothing is migrated. It’s very likely to be technically impossible to move communities in the way you’re imagining.
I think you might be right. Having found a couple of communities that moved instances this seems to be the way its going
It’s the same way it worked on Reddit, so nothing new here.
Make the existing one mod posts only and pin a post linking to the new one?
All will be lost.
Thanks. The more I look the more I fear that’s the only way
It’s not as bad as it sounds.
