this wouldn't be so bad if you could easily transfer your account from one instance to another
You can transfer all your subscriptions and blocks. What you cannot transfer is your imaginary internet points that aren't summed up by default in lemmy anyways.
Would your post/comment history be lost as well? Will posts/comments show up as [by deleted user] or w/e?
If instance A stops existing, instance B doesn't have any specific knowledge of that versus it no longer federating. Existing posts and comments will stay. My instance is no longer federated with some, but I still see the communities from them.
