This is kind of a question and conformation. Is there a way to backup a lemmy account from one instance and in case some thing happens, restore that user in another (with all the posts, likes, etc) ? I read that they were working on cross instance accounts , but is there a workaround meanwhile? Do we know the status of this implementation?
In a perfect world, you could migrate all this content and keep your points and comments.
Unfortunately, this would be abused so hard. We would have people setting up private instances, faking their databases and creating accounts with a million Karma and huge comment histories. Then taking those personas and importing them onto legit instances.
This isn’t an issue with today’s Lemmy. But down the track if Lemmy is the size of Reddit, scammers and spammers would be doing this to, well scam and spam.
I wish we could just trust everyone. That sounds like a nicer world.
