So I realized that signing up on lemmy.world may not have been the best option for me, so I'm wondering what the best way to move instances (I'd like to move to pawb.social or lemmy.blahaj.zone) for my account would be I'm most worried about leaving everything I made on this account behind forever, but I've seen online that there's no way to actually move your account to another instance, so what do you guys suggest the best procedure is?

Somewhere in your profile settings there's an export. It won't export your posts, just which communities you follow and who you've blocked, etc. Import those into your new account on the new instance.

What? I had no idea! I manually migrated my subscriptions over when I switched!

It was hard for me, so I vote everyone must manually do it, for character building or some such bullshit.

Perfect idea!

Let’s improve the character building by requiring people to first setup their own Lemmy instance before they can join a larger one.

That surely will improve the amount of users here 😇
