    But here’s a bonus feature: many platforms allow you to easily migrate your account to a new instance.

    But Lemmy isn’t one of those platforms. Right?

    Generally I agree with the article that the shutdown of lemm.ee isn’t a big deal. It sucks for sure, but the Fediverse survives.

    Personally I don’t care about account migration. Export/import works fine, but I get that it’s a little clunky for some.

    Community migration is something that I think is more important and as I understand PieFed handles this. Hopefully Lemmy will someday and even better between Lemmy & PieFed.

      Not for content but that wasn’t what you asked for.

      I migrated an account loooong ago and the only thing that didn’t copy/transfer by themselves was my posts. Dunno how much better it has gotten since then but what “makes” the account is so far quite easily exportable and importable.
