It’s been difficult to broach the subject and explain the technical concepts to the average person. I did have some success in first sharing the email comparison, which lead into interoperability.

I’m just curious to hear people’s success stories, if you have any.

    you can move your account though, there are buttons to export and import on your settings page

    it won’t bring your post/comment history with you, but it will carry over your subscriptions and saved/bookmarked posts/comments

      They need to make the next update allow the transfer to include EVERYTHING. Posts and comments too.

      I think that may be the most important update we need.

        would be cool but I don’t think the ActivityPub protocol allows that

        it’s kind of outside of Lemmy’s control

        personally I don’t care that much about post history or karma or whatever
