I don't see a reason to migrate to another community. What guarantee is there that you don't loose interest in hosting lemmy next week? The lemmy.ml instance is far older and I don't think it will disappear any time soon, also the mod of this community is one of the lemmy maintainers (which is incidentally also written in rust).
I mostly agree with you and the fact is yes there are no guarantees. But that's kind of the point, I don't believe that lemmy.ml would be around forever either, will lemmyrs be? I don't know! I see it as an opportunity to further decentralize and diversify the existing ecosystem. FWIW, the maintainers themselves encourage hosting other instances :)
