  I mean are the posts in any way recreatable because they are also saved on other instances when accessed from there right? Of course you can create another community with the same topic :D

    Without a self cleanup the posts will remain in other communities but the account is effectively gone

    I don’t believe there is a way to transfer posts. You could probably create a bot that scrapes and recreates them, but all the original users would be lost. Best to just start from scratch, nothing here needs to be permanent anyway.
