Hi, I’m new here. How can I move to another instance? Is there a way to migrate, or do I just have to register another account somewhere else? Thanks :)
I’m new, but slightly less so, and haven’t yet found a way to migrate my account to a new instance. But it’s also fairly trivial to just create a new account on another instance, especially when you don’t yet have a ton of subscriptions or much of a reply history to lose. Lemmy doesn’t have a running karma like reddit did, so it’s not like you’re even losing fake internet points in the process.
I don’t think you can migrate, since if that was possible your “karma” would also be able to move with you. People have been asking for that recently, but others have been saying that the Lemmy software doesn’t support that.
I think the best thing you can do is make a new account on a new instance and look back at the rest of the fediverse from that instance.

I think there was word that they were going to add that functionality at some point.
