I don't see a thread in this community yet, so I thought I'd make a post. Where should this community be moved to?

The general opinion is that having too much people on the same instance is dangerous from a centralization perspective.
We see it now with the impact of Lemm.ee shutting down, and it is 3 times smaller than Lemmy.world (https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list)
Some LW mods have a tendency to power trip, even increased by the concentration of communities on their instance

Some of them even openly admitted that for them, federation is a secondary feature: https://lemmy.world/comment/14933488
Thanks for such a clear answer! I'm definitely not interested in ever getting involved in Lemmy Drama, so it does seems like LW might not be the way to go. I'll do a little digging; Lemmy.zip seems good, but feel free to throw any other suggestions my way!
Last point for zip, this is where the majority of lemm.ee users are going: https://lemmy.zip/post/40323214
Other nice options:
I've spent the last couple hours investigating, and yeah, it seems like lemmyzip is the right call. Do you know how to migrate a community? I'm not sure where to start.

This seems to be Piefed-specific; if I'm understanding correctly, it seems that the only way to "migrate" a Lemmy community from one instance to another is to simply make a new one on the new instance, and make a post in the old instance directing people to the new one. It doesn't seem like it's possible to actually transfer the content, posts, subscribers, etc from one to the other.
Does that seem correct? I'll keep studying up on this regardless.
Oh sorry, I got distracted. From Lemmy to Lemmy there isn't currently any tool to perform a migration.
You can see !football@lemm.ee to !football@sopuli.xyz to see how we did it
