We have two discourse instances, one focused at project contributors and one focused at end-user help and troubleshooting.
Often, topics really best served by the latter get opened at the former. Rather than telling people to repost, is there a way to move the posts?

Unfortunately not, the only simple option here is cut-and-paste.
There has been some talk about federation here: [Federation support for Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/federation-support-for-discourse/90921) but no existing pattern.
You could possibly use a script to do this if it is common and lean on the Discourse API, perhaps that is the best option for the near term?

Hmmm, the API might work here. I guess the main problem would be granting moderators easy access to the tool.
