I’ve seen a few comments in the other thread about community centrization

Your following, blocking, muting, and domain-blocking lists can be imported at Settings > Import, where they can either be merged or overwritten.

Mastodon currently does not support importing posts or media due to technical limitations

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/#export

Seems pretty similar to the way we manage it with Lemmy at the moment (settings menu, export JSON, import JSON), am I missing something?

    I see. On the other hand, I’ve done it a few times (you announce it beforehand, create the new community, lock the old community with a pinned post) and it’s usually okay. Not ideal of course, but still not a breaking point.

    The argument I’ve seen a few times is that “communities should be able to move all of their posts and comments elsewhere, on Mastodon it’s possible”, but it doesn’t seem to be the case from the OP.

      Ah yeah, it’s not possible on Mastodon either. Your content stays where it is.

      I think it’s even less of a problem on the Threadiverse than it is on Mastodon though. Most people are interested in new content here, we rarely go digging too much through the archives. Though it would of course be neat.
