What happens to the community if the instance is deleted?
New to lemmy, created a community on lemmy.world for a game that I enjoy. If I understand it right, if the lemmy instance goes down, your user data also goes down. Is this the same with communities as well? Is there a way to move your community to a new instance if that happens?
TIA.
There is no community migration feature to Lemmy and I don't foresee that being feasible in the near future. Same with personal profiles.
There should be a migrating feature for profiles IMO. Would really help with speed if the server is hosted near to you.
I agree. Even if it just means exporting your settings and subscriptions as a JSON and importing it elsewhere. Mastodon has a more "proper" migration feature that would work better for communities, but I'm not sure how well that'd scale to Lemmy which has much more posts per community than Mastodon will per user.
