Account migration when one is a Mod?

So, what happens if you're modding a few communities and you want to change instances?

Do you add mod roles to the new account on that instance? Would people keep the old account, and would they keep the mod status on the old account too?

Just wondering, since I'm considering moving to keep Lemmy sustainable as well as because of preemptive concerns at my own instance's implementation of implicit, untransparent policies.

  • I suspect at the moment there is no smooth way of migration, so I would suggest setting up a new account in your new home and shifting the mod state from one to the other. Whether you can do that yourself or it requires an admin intervention - I do not know.

    • What if you founded the community and you make the new account a mod but you can't leave the mod team? I assume admins can intervene but that seems like a hassle for all involved.
