Lemmy should implement the ability to clone a community from one instance to another (sh.itjust.works)

I think this feature will help keep communities alive if something goes wrong. I hope Lemmy implements this feature.

Could probably be doable with database fuckery. Make a second community locally with an identical name, then in the backend swap some IDs around and make it think the posts were actually in the new one all along.

Granted, I haven't looked at the DB structure, so I don't know how plausible it is. If someone tries it, don't blame me if the instance breaks, do at your own risk.
