There are plenty of subreddits I left behind that I would like to see migrated to lemmy instances.

What do ya’ll think about creating the communities I want to be migrated and, this is the part I don’t feel great about, whole-sale copying the existing configuration of the communities i.e. all the side-bar content (rules, wikis, etc.)?

On the one hand, it seems like a good way to create continuity for users but on the other hand, it feels like stealing. Also, I am not necessarily the person who should be running these communities. I just want to create the spaces for people to move into and hand them off to those who want to run them and contribute content.

What do ya’ll think? How have you been approaching a migration from your favorite subreddits to your instance communities?

      Oof. Well I suppose the instance owners could create another wiki app on the subdomain (there are plenty to choose from) but I’d imagine it’d be a pain to deal with auth and permissions (e.g. who gets to edit the wiki).
