Can a community be “moved”? (sh.itjust.works)

Pardon my ignorance if this is a dumb question, but can a community be moved from one instance to another? Like re-homed?

Seems like it’d be handy if the people running an instance start acting up or turning nazi or something and you want to distance your community from them.

Wouldn’t want a situation where people start concentrating communities on the instances that have the highest user counts, then that instance owner sells out to some mega corp or starts doing some shady stuff.

I guess I just have to get used to this. No matter how many times people try to explain I cannot seem to wrap my mind around the fediverse.

I don't get most of it either, I learn just enough to do what I need. Did you figure out how following communities works?

Not entirely, but I'm just doing what I can right now and learning as I go. I've learned the markdown well enough to transcribe, and that was my first priority
