I joined mastodon.xyz a few years ago and never had any problems. Then today I tried to sign on and couldn’t. The server simply isn’t reachable. I can (and have) created a new instanceuaccount on a new server, but losing all my data has me concerned. What should I do with my new account so I don’t lose everything if this instance also disappears someday?
Lemmy definitely needs to have an account migration feature. I’m sure the developers already realize this, but it’s just a matter of time and effort to create it (like everything else). Hopefully we will see something come out in the not too distant future.
