You can easily export and import your subscriptions from the settings menu, so that makes changing instances quite easy
Comment on Why are peole hating on .world?
UNY0N@lemmy.world 2 months agoReddit pereon here. After over a year (I think, didn’t check) on Lemmy I still don’t understand the details about how works. I’m pretty busy, and it works to get me my news and such, so it wasn’t important to understand how it does so.
But now I’m inspired, thanks for that. I will look into changing servers, finding something that better fits my interests and such. I may even perhaps learn something in the process. Keeping the network decentralized is important, and I can do my part.

It’s a shame that there isn’t functionality for a full account port, including comments and posts.

That can easily be abused to overload instances with a lot of content. It’s also technically challenging due to the way comments are posts are linked
Mastodon does not offer it either:
Mastodon currently does not support importing posts or media due to technical limitations docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/
You can link to your former profile from your bio

You can just create another account in another instance and run them side by side in a singular app. Switching back and forth is simple. I have a couple, reasons can vary, one would be that .world decided to take pirating communities off, to protect themselves. Whether they needed to or not, doesn’t matter, it’s their choice. I just hop to another instance to see those, but most of the content will be the same for me across instances because I haven’t hunted to much for new subs. Probably should eventually.

It’s for porn, isn’t it?

Haha nah, when I first got to Lemmy I created an account on .ml, then .ca, made one on hexbear to understand who they were, one in world, and finally one on dbzero. Figured it couldn’t hurt to find a community of people that was nice. Oh wait, forgot fedia.io when I wanted to figure out what they meant by seeing upvotes/downvotes and who was making them so I could understand more about the interworking of the instances.
