The profile move section here for mastodon seems relevant.
We’d have to support a “move” activity that followers would receive, and it could overwrite their database with the new community url, and refollow.
This should probably be limited to the top mod.
All this is also predicated on that instance still being alive, and long enough for that move request to get federated everywhere.
This would be really difficult, and a ton of work, all just so people wouldn’t have to click the subscribe button for a community resurrected elsewhere. So I’m not sure its really worth it.
