Community Migration Kit

The idea in one paragraph

When a platform your community calls home goes dark, the community faces two bad options: scatter in panic, or freeze and wait. This skill builds a third option - an orderly migration kit with a chosen destination, a way to move together, and a plan for who stays behind and how the two groups stay connected.

What it is built on

• After the Archive of Our Own went down on 2026-10-29 with an outage expected to last at least two weeks, fans organized themselves: shared Google Docs of downloaded stories circulated as informal "survival guides."
• Some writers and readers began migrating to other platforms, including Inkitt, rather than wait out the outage.
• The community response was large enough to be reported by WIRED and The New York Times.

Workflow

1. Pick the rally point (input: candidate platforms -> output: one primary destination). Score candidates on what your community actually needs: archiving, comments, mobile reading, moderation tools. Pick one primary and one fallback; never split the migration across five options.
2. Decide who moves and who stays (input: member list or roles -> output: a two-group plan). Name the caretakers who stay behind to watch the original platform, post updates, and welcome returners. Everyone else moves in named waves - fandom by fandom, not all at once.
3. Move the essentials first (input: your community's key content -> output: a moved archive). Migrate the irreplaceable first: pinned guides, reading lists, FAQ posts, and the member directory. Link back to originals where they still exist.
4. Keep the bridge open (input: the two-group plan -> output: a cross-posting rule). Set a simple rule for what gets posted in both places during the outage - announcements, reading guides, new-member welcomes - so neither group goes silent.
5. Plan the return (input: platform recovery news -> output: a return checklist). Decide in advance what triggers the move back: full restoration, read-only access, or a fixed date. The AO3 outage was expected to last up to four weeks, so plan for a month, not a weekend.

What good looks like

One destination everyone knows, a caretaker crew watching the old home, the essential archives already moved, and a written rule for what happens when the platform comes back. No member has to guess where the community is today.
