Pretty much everyone I see is on lemmy.ml. Why aren’t people moving to other instances? I see thisproblems on Matrix too.

I (naïvely) don’t understand why they couldn’t do it.
I realize you’ve said that Mastodon doesn’t do that, but I don’t see why it can’t be possible if it was considered a priority. On the surface, it seems simple to just move the uploaded files across, remake the posts and replies (as long as allowed by the federation choices of the new instance), send a notification to relevant instances that a user has migrated and have them update their links and actions to attribute them to the new account (if the new account is visible on their instance).

I don’t know what exactly the considerations are, and the hurdles, and maybe this is being worked at (my knowledge is stale, and having never migrated, 2nd hand too :D )
