> 1. can editing a post be disabled, or at least limited to a very short timeframe?

`post edit time limit` site setting. Use 0 to disable.

[Yes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/improving-blocked-user-state/37306/7).

> 1. for clarity, we need to provide users of the old forum with the ability to subscribe to the new one while keeping their username; what would be the best way to achieve this? Can it be achieved at all if I enable social log in?

I don’t follow. You can choose the username. Just choose the same when creating the account.
