Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance?

They are not lost, they are still there
Yes, they’re there, in the old account on the old instance, and not here, where the new account on the new instance is.
Lemmy shouldn’t be used for messaging
That is entirely not the point. (Also: messaging on Lemy and instant messaging have nothing in common and should not be confused.)

Why does it matter? Lemmy has no karma. You can keep your “reputation” bye’ using the same name and picture. You can search them using the usual search feature focused on that account.
Genuinely asking, I changed accounts a lot in the past and never encountered any issue

I honestly give a steaming pile of bullcrap about stupid random internet points.
I want my data with me (i.e. available in the accoutn I mainly use) and not on some other account I don’t use anymore.
