I am planning on moving to lemmy.blahaj.zone soon-ish but I have 2 questions.
How do I move to another instance?
Can I move freely? For example, could I switch to lemmy.blahaj.zone to lemmy.world to kbin.social every day? I don;t like the idea of being "tied down" to an instance for a long time.
As far as I know, account migration from one instance to another is currently not possible on kbin/lemmy but with the sudden influx of users and developers I believe it is on the roadmap for at least kbin and likely lemmy too. For now you’ll have to use multiple accounts, but eventually you should be able to migrate if you choose to.
I may wait until that becomes possible, although if the wait is long, I'll make a new account.
Yeah do whatever you decide is best! No right way to do it. Some have suggested just considering accounts temporary as we all experiment with what works best until more features are rolled out. But I know I’m already attached to my existing accounts and reluctant to make more.
you can have accounts on multiple instances, go ahead and sign up. your info is NOT transferred, so you'll need to re-subscribe to your communities, and your posts stay on the instance you wrote them from.
