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.

    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.
