For those who want to have a private lemmy instance were only users that are logged in can see the content on the instance, is it possible to disable and enable an account using lemmy API? This will be useful for private instances that users need to pay a subscription to be apart of and if the subscription expires, the account is not deleted or banned, but disabled and will not be enabled until the users pay for another subscription.

    Holding user data hostage is really a dick move without an option to export it.

      If it is a by invitiation instance. Then it is up to the user to do a backup before their subscription expires.

        There is no native option to do a backup on Lemmy at the moment… Are you planning on offering it as part of the subscription?
