I’m not seeing any ads, and these servers certainly have a cost… So is this place entirely donation based, or what?

    It’s an open issue on GitHub, and was featured in the recent dev blog:

    At the same time, we are seeing lots of requests to implement major new features, such as migration between instances, or combining similar communities. As described above, we are completely overloaded with work, and definitely won’t have time to implement these in the near future. If there is a feature you want to see implemented, you will likely need to work on it yourself, or find someone who can.

    So no, currently you can’t move. You can only create a new account on another instance, and start using that instead. At least you’re still on the same platform.

    Given the popularity of the issue, I would assume it will find a solution. But given no one is assigned to it yet, we probably still have no people willing to work on it.
