What's the process like for migrating a Lemmy community to a different instance? Is it possible? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Probably just lock the community and pin a redirect? Not sure if more can be done.

Is there some barrier to stop Lemmy from handling community migration the way Mastodon does? On masto, you can send a signal to all your followers which automatically unfollows them and refollows them to your new account. Instance migration is so easy there. I'm pretty sure following a Mastodon user and subscribing to a Lemmy community are similar under the hood so I wonder why similar behavior couldnt be put in for Lemmy
