The instance owners do not wish to host potentially problematic content.

I will try to locate a more suitable instance.

What if the community shifted to an already-existing one?

That's run by shrine, who I no longer trust.

Do you mind elaborating? Is there something you could share that provides more context?

I know shrine from another place and used to trust him. However, among other things, he silently dropped privileges on other mod accounts on /r/libgen and /r/scihub. I wanted to point you to a pinned post of mine for the gory details, but that seems to be no longer there. I'm not going to check the mod log who cleaned up but just going to assume it was him.

So, I no longer trust him to be a good steward of a community and will not work with him on any project.
