Transitioning community from private to public handling

Cyrill Kunze [5 minutes ago] For now I think this is a very important thing that should be well considered for the future how Openbook will handle this to take engough care about users privacy.

It might be ok to allow it, if it meant that previous posts would remain private and only new posts would be public. At the same time there should be a notice to all community members that the community has changed to public (edited)

Another point to keep in mind are mentions or leaving a private community. Posts will no longer be accessible, so mentions to posts from it will result in a private post error.
