Is it possible to transfer an account from one Lemmy instance to another?
I am eventually going to host my own instance but for now just enjoying the free ride on Lemmy.world.
If I host my own instance is there a way to transfer this account over?

kernelle, I use Lemmy Handshake, an android application which keeps them in sync as wel!
iso, This feature will come with 0.19 version officially as I know.
RoseRose56, how this will work? is there anywhere I can read about this? Will I be able to move from one instance to another? or just settings or posts etc?
iso, You can check this: lemy.lol/post/9510066
RoseRose56, Mmmm, Machu Picchu, thanks!
i_am_not_a_robot, No official way, but you can sync the details across with lasim or similar tool.
I_Am_Jacks_____, lasim worked great for me
LazaroFilm, You lose your internet points though right?
can, If that’s a concern for you I’d recommend some self reflection.
mysoulishome, If you take a look at my opinion score, you’ll see that my opinion is worth a lot because I had a lot of opinions in the past.
NeoNachtwaechter, I had a lot of opinions
Is that curable?
can, I like that lemmy doesn’t show an aggregate on the webui.
LazaroFilm, Not a concern, just worth noting.
leraje, What lasim does is allow you download your account settings. That’s all. So your subscriptions, block lists etc. It doesn’t allow you to transfer posts/comments so yes, your points will be zero on your new account.
If you admin a Community, you can’t transfer that automatically either.
Thorny_Insight, Lemmy doesn’t display your score anyways except for individual posts/messages. Atleast not the web view.
I truly don’t get why it matters. On reddit I made a new account once a year or so anyways and on Lemmy I’ve got like 6 of these. I never paid any attention to my or anyone else’s karma either.
leraje, No, I agree. The only possible argument in its favour is to tackle spam but even that’s pretty easy to game.
