How does one move a community to a different instance? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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 might be right. Having found a couple of communities that moved instances this seems to be the way its going

It's the same way it worked on Reddit, so nothing new here.

That's indeed how I moved a few.

It's usually fine
