Your members will follow you if you give them somewhere to go. Here's a script that works.
Step 1, Pick your destination
Decide between Aminoka (closest to Amino's structured community model), Discord (best chat), or both. Most communities run both.
Step 2, Lock in the leader team
Get the leaders/curators/hosts on board first. They'll bring members. Set up the new community on day one with the same name + icon + color theme so it feels like a continuation, not a fresh start.
Step 3, Re-create the structure
Public chats: 3-5 to start (general, off-topic, announcements, plus 1-2 niche). Wiki/lore pages: copy the rules + key articles from your old community. Roles: leader, curator, host. Aminoka has them out of the box.
Step 4, Pin a migration announcement on Amino
Post in every public chat AND your community wall: explain the move, give the link, set a date for the live migration party. Repeat the post weekly.
Step 5, Run a launch event
Schedule a 1-2 hour kickoff event in the new community: livestream chat, polls, one or two leader-led activities. This is what gets people through the friction of installing a new app and creating an account.
Step 6, Keep posting on Amino as long as it works
Cross-post for 4-8 weeks. Members who only check Amino occasionally need multiple touch points before they jump.
Step 7, Archive what you can
Screenshot your top wiki pages, polls, and announcement chats. Re-post the highest-engagement ones in the new community. Continuity matters.
