    Got it. Is there a way to move your account from instance to instance, or do you have to make a new account?

        Do you happen to know if that’s something the devs are working towards? I assume it’s possible bc Mastodon can and they’re both based on AP. I think the ability to switch instances and preserve your history would be a big draw to people.

          I particularly don’t know about developments in this feature, but it’s definitely a welcome one. Maybe having a local (or maybe on a registered email) periodic backup of your comments, upvotes, joined communities and saved topics, and being able to export and import it would be the most viable solution for instance hopping.

      only current option is a new account on a new instance, but account migration is a really hot topic so it will get some love sometime soon.
