I migrated my account from .ee in three seconds. So yes, it is one of those platforms.

But here’s a bonus feature: many platforms allow you to easily migrate your account to a new instance.
But Lemmy isn’t one of those platforms. Right?
Generally I agree with the article that the shutdown of lemm.ee isn’t a big deal. It sucks for sure, but the Fediverse survives.
Personally I don’t care about account migration. Export/import works fine, but I get that it’s a little clunky for some.
Community migration is something that I think is more important and as I understand PieFed handles this. Hopefully Lemmy will someday and even better between Lemmy & PieFed.

It already works between Lemmy and Piefed

Not for content but that wasn’t what you asked for.
I migrated an account loooong ago and the only thing that didn’t copy/transfer by themselves was my posts. Dunno how much better it has gotten since then but what “makes” the account is so far quite easily exportable and importable.

It doesnt mean anything but its good to get these kind of practices while Lemmy is still small. It seems the.migration process has come along way since 2 years ago.
Hopefully one day we can copy and pay entire threads and comments into the new community or have 100% transfer.

Lemmy allows a user to export their subscriptions, blocks, and saved posts /comments in JSON file from their account settings page.
That file can then be imported into a new account on any other Lemmy (and even Piefed) instance.
