I disagree. If one is that important, I say those mods need to create their own instance.
They would still need to be able to migrate the community to their own instance.
Yeah I understand that but I just disagree with automatically moving people around between instances.
But that's not what this conversation is about.
It would be the mod/admin who moves a community to a new instance, and the users would migrate themselves to follow the community.
Neither functionality exists but I agree that users should not be moved automatically unless it's part of an SSO scenario.
That’s not what I read anywhere but I agree with the way you worded it.
I might have made some of that up but thank you for catching the intent of it.
Why?
I just personally wouldn’t want someone duplicating and creating me an account on another instance. Maybe if it’s developed in the future you just get a notification asking if you’d like to follow this community to such and such instance. At that point you get a prompt to accept or deny. I’m fine with that.
Not true.
I’m running one. It doesn’t require a lot of resources.
If you end up with a crazy substantial amount of users it can get dicey, but if the community is that amazing the donations would probably roll in.
A dedicated server. A bottom dollar one. Most of them you can scale up if anything takes off more than you expected.
