I can post/crosspost monitor related to content to a new monitors community not on LW. LW has one, but it’s dead (!monitors@lemmy.world).
I only post some of the relevant content to !hardware@lemmy.world, so it won’t only be crossposts.
If someone wants to take the lead with on a new non-LW community, I can mod and occasionally post content (there is usually something new every few days).
A bit late the the discussion, but I’ve been in your situation with !casualconversation@lemmy.world. I had put a lot of effort into growing it, but at the same time I really wanted to move it away from LW.
At some point I thought that it was enough. We created a thread to discuss with the community, explained them the reasons (the post is still pinned there if you want to have a look). We announced a day when the LW community would be locked, and activity would happen in the new community.
Transition has been smooth, people appreciated that we asked for their feedback, and that the process was clear and defined.
Maybe lemmy.zip could be an instance where you could move your community? They are very transparent on their administration, and always quick with updates.
Happy to help with new initiatives.

Hit me up if anything.

If hardware is your thing, there is a whole instance for you at https://hardware.watch/communities. :)
I may consider opening a monitor-focused community at some point in the future.
Cheers!
