Pardon my ignorance if this is a dumb question, but can a community be moved from one instance to another? Like re-homed?

Seems like it’d be handy if the people running an instance start acting up or turning nazi or something and you want to distance your community from them.

Wouldn’t want a situation where people start concentrating communities on the instances that have the highest user counts, then that instance owner sells out to some mega corp or starts doing some shady stuff.

    I think it would help if you share what specifically you want to do on other instances.

    Just follow communities on them? No need, you can follow from where you already are, like the other reply says.

      I guess I just have to get used to this. No matter how many times people try to explain I cannot seem to wrap my mind around the fediverse.

        I don’t get most of it either, I learn just enough to do what I need. Did you figure out how following communities works?
