How can I migrate all my likes, community subscriptions, posts, comments etc to another instance?

Is this even currently possible?

Thanks for reading

    re-subscruibe to communities with manual approval

    Are they that common? I usually find the feature used to lock inactive communities

    losing all your comments and posts history

    They are not lost, they are still there, and people know they are yours if you post your new account on your old account bio.

    private messaging history and contacts.

    Lemmy shouldn’t be used for messaging, that’s why you can show your Matrix account in your profile

      Yes, they’re there, in the old account on the old instance, and not here, where the new account on the new instance is.

      That is entirely not the point. (Also: messaging on Lemy and instant messaging have nothing in common and should not be confused.)

        Why does it matter? Lemmy has no karma. You can keep your “reputation” bye’ using the same name and picture. You can search them using the usual search feature focused on that account.

        Genuinely asking, I changed accounts a lot in the past and never encountered any issue

          I want my data with me (i.e. available in the accoutn I mainly use) and not on some other account I don’t use anymore.
