You don’t have to!!! Once you create a community, it stays on that instance forever unless admins remove it. Just create another lemmy account on another instance, and appoint yourself mod from the original account. Now you could just delete your account on the original server and pick up where you left off as mod on the new account. I just learned this.
Edit-my response still doesn’t address your question directly, and I see that there are cases where you might actually want to move an entire community over to be hosted on another instance (say, if you know that instance is about to go dark). This doesn’t look possible now, and I really don’t think it should be.
A related question I have had is: can you transfer communities you have created to another instance? I’m sure the answer is no.
I’ve been very happy with lemmy.world, but I will be stopping my donations and finding another instance if it federates with Threads.
