Communities should be able to move servers (lemmy.world)

Idea: if you mod a community on a lemmy.somewhere you should be able to migrate it to lemmy.elsewhere which would include all post & comment links being forwarded and subbed users having their subscription updated to reflect the new location.

I'm aware this would be a way down the road as user account migration alone is still not great but it would be a great feature for the fediverse to have to avoid centralisation and mod/server admin wars.

A good community leaving a bad server can maybe work if the server doesn't just turn that off.

A bad community that was hosted on a bad server can continue to be blocked on a server level.

A good server tolerating a somewhat bad community will let users continue to block communities.

Two good communities on one server might grow large and want to split servers.
