    yeah, you’re right, the problem was I signed up to any random instance that signups open so I catch up with what’s happening

    what’s ironic was that I used Lemmy before back in 2020 (back when I started using the fediverse in general but I never expected Lemmy to take off that fast that much)

    I guess I have to relearn from my mistake for the second time.

      I really hope we get the ability to migrate accounts from one instance to another, but I realize it’s more complicated than it might seem.

          It would be great to see Lemmy adopt this feature, but until then our accounts are stuck on sh.itjust.works since it’s not a Pleroma server.

            Why not just make a new account on a different instance? Are you trying to keep record of your posts? Your subscription? Blocks and friends? Can be an interesting problem for someone with the time and skill to tackle.

              I think it would be nice to keep your post history, subscriptions, etc. linked to your account if you decide to switch instances. It could also give other users a way to verify that the new account is legitimate. It’s not an essential feature, more of a nice-to-have.
