Unless I’m missing something in the code I linked, they’re not. All that action does is merge one community into another on the local database, nothing federates.

As for why Piefed and not Lemmy, it’s because Piefed communities are portable. That is, if the admin proves to be awful or a server threatens to shut down, you can just move the community elsewhere.

Are they? The only thing I’ve heard about this is Piefed’s community move admin action, which is just a simple db rewrite only on the local instance.
