I’ll be the odd one out here and write that I don’t mind not having the ability to migrate. The platform is intended to be pseudo-anonymous. I think one shouldn’t become too attached to their particular name and instead focus on the ideas being discussed and the information exchanged.
For the same reason I hope karma continues to not be a thing and ignored by most clients even if the backend reports it.
Unsurprisingly, tools for the migration of basic stuff like subscriptions and block lists have already been developed by the community.

(haven’t tried using it myself yet, but it’s probably much quicker than manual if you have a lot of subscriptions to migrate)
A subscription import/export function would be much easier to implement but I don’t think that’s what users want when they say they want instance migration functionality.
My migration to Lemmy.ca was a pain but it is doable. I put my Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca side by side and started subscribing to communities I was following on Lemmy.world.
But Fox News, OAN, CNN, and MSNBC told me anarchy was no rules! I bet you’re just one of those Antifa communist false flag crisis actors paid for by China, George Soros, and Hunter Biden’s leftover crack money /s
Lemmy was born on the 4th of July for many users who created their accounts as part of this big Reddit migration. For freedom on freedom day for many people.

It’s probably more subscriptions that people care about, particularly since they are spread out and not always easy to remember.

it’s a way, but automatic migration like in mastodon is simpler
That would be really powerful. Especially if we had the ability to choose two or three “fall-back” instances that would stay in sync.
Aye, feels good to be on the right ship here! Better than reddit ever was.
youre on lemmy.world right? If not, umm…where do I sign up to swab the decks

Ok, I need to check how to doit using Jerboa because I’m really stuck here.
I love that my instance got called “Liberal troll instance” by Lemmygrad
Your admin has actually defederated from quite a few instances. Uncensored it is not.

That’s totally fair it just doesn’t really fall under anarchism.

by that logic isn’t every instance anarchist?

Are you an anarchist? The answer may surprise you.
What does that have to do with anarchism? User created and moderated spaces are perfectly compatible with anarchism, imo.
