@flancian There are also protocol-related concerns. Setting up copies of existing Mastodon posts on a different server changes their ActivityPub IDs, so past interactions would get lost. So you can't meaningfully "move" posts - that would require them to have decentralized IDs, something that @silverpill does work on.

I'm with you that copying post content should be part of account migrations though. @renchap once mentioned that Mastodon wants that too, it's just not urgently prioritized.
