That’s a highly specific comm though and most instances/comms would not be okay losing the history. You also inevitably stunt growth and lose some users during such a migration. It would be much better if ActivityPub allowed an instance to change its underlying representation, while keeping all the users and post and data but unfortunately this is basically impossible.
We created those communities here from scratch. What matters is the incoming content and discussions, archived threads are good for information but not much more.
We have no content on any community here older than 1 year and a half except the ones on lemmy.ml, are those more popular than the LW, SJW or mander.xyz ones?

I would move [email protected] and [email protected] too, and I guess the people would still be okay.
