    Negative:

    1. Ask the community if they would be okay to move. If there is a big backlash, just stay there.
    2. Open the new community on the new instance, add the sidebar, the banner, everything to make it look like the previous one.
    3. Post the the old community a link to the new community. Lock the old community.
    4. Add a few posts to the new community to make the transition smoother

      Ah I see, that isn’t really what I had in mind, bummer. That to me is starting over which is I guess the plan. Thanks!

        If you just cross post everything, most of the people will stay on the previous one
