Hello,

A bit late the the discussion, but I've been in your situation with [email protected]. I had put a lot of effort into growing it, but at the same time I really wanted to move it away from LW.

At some point I thought that it was enough. We created a thread to discuss with the community, explained them the reasons (the post is still pinned there if you want to have a look). We announced a day when the LW community would be locked, and activity would happen in the new community.

Transition has been smooth, people appreciated that we asked for their feedback, and that the process was clear and defined.

Maybe lemmy.zip could be an instance where you could move your community? They are very transparent on their administration, and always quick with updates.
