But here’s a bonus feature: many platforms allow you to easily migrate your account to a new instance.
But Lemmy isn’t one of those platforms. Right?
Generally I agree with the article that the shutdown of lemm.ee isn’t a big deal. It sucks for sure, but the Fediverse survives.
Personally I don’t care about account migration. Export/import works fine, but I get that it’s a little clunky for some.
Community migration is something that I think is more important and as I understand PieFed handles this. Hopefully Lemmy will someday and even better between Lemmy & PieFed.

I migrated my account from .ee in three seconds. So yes, it is one of those platforms.
Lemmy allows a user to export their subscriptions, blocks, and saved posts /comments in a JSON file from their account settings page.
That file can then be imported into a new account on any other Lemmy (and even Piefed) instance.
