There are a few import tools written to import historical posts, which is the main difficulty. Copying and pasting a sidebar markdown, re-uploading images would take a max of like 10 minutes.

I intentionally kept historical imports out, since Reddit is blocking APIs under the guise of limiting AI scraping.

My main point was setting up an easier way for low-tech mods to set up a parallel community, then nudge users to move over.

I agree with Dessalines that moving the sidebar takes 10 minutes.

Reddit's mod interface isn't an easy one to use, so they'd probably have an easier time over here. If they can click an upload image button, and copy paste, they should be okay.
