Today I was made aware that beehaw.org blocked my entire instance. I would be ok if I simply could not write a post/comment in beehaw, that would be reasonable.

Unfortunately the beehaw users can no longer see my posts, which is a problem when I'm trying to be active and promote other communities on other non-blocked instances. What a mess.

I'd like to know if it's possible to migrate my account to another instance without losing my post history or at the very least the communities I'm subscribed to. My account is only 6 days old so it's not much a problem today, but this can be a recurring problem and if no migration path is available I might have to consider self-hosting or leaving lemmy altogether.

Thanks in advance.

It's a shame, really. Putting the old account in the bio doesn't really address the issue.

An option to migrate your account should be more than very very low priority, lemmy.ml is struggling hard. How many people are stuck in that server because they don't want to abandon their data?

Don't really want to turn this into a discussion tho, you have answered my question and I thank you very much for it!
