    Ehhh… if you mean one can port their post and comment history to another instance, then, no [1][1.1]. If you mean one can port their account settings to another instance, then yes [1.1].

      The main point is being able to still access all of the communities if your admin goes rogue (similar to what Reddit is doing). That’s possible on Lemmy, you export / import your settings and you’re set.

      Keep the same username, add a link to your new and old profiles and the bio, and you just moved instances. You may have lost your comments history, but there is no karma anyway, so why care? And it’s still accessible on your old account.

    “Owned by its users?”

    Come on man, how many of us pay for the servers, and how many admins do we actually elect?

    This is another reddit, with the benefit that we can jump to a neighbouring clone to stop the admins from getting too uppity.

    That’s it, and I love it.

    If someone wants a backup account you can try my unbackupped server lemmy.mindoki.com too.

    It’s backuped but it might take time if something breaks, just so you know.
