For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

    They kinda can’t be a spez, by design. Just make sure you make backup accounts on all the other instances, and use them occasionally

      It’d be cool if lemmy implements features that’ll help switching instances easier, like what mastodon did.

          Admittedly, I don’t know how switching instance work in Mastodon either, I just know that it’s possible

        At the very least, it’s super simple to do in Jerboa if you have accounts on each.

        I mean literally just register your account again. Maybe subscribe to the communities you like on each account if you have the time to, but if not just reserve your username on each and have them saved in your password manager and ready to go in case of a break-glass incident.

          Ahh, understood. I thought that you meant that there was some sort of built-in functionality to mirror your account on another instance.
