My fear is that an instance I join could fold and lose my history and name. I believe we’ll probably see a feature that allows migration in the future, but it seems the best solution now is to roll your own.
Same. I think this might also be one of the reasons people join larger instances (besides not knowing where to go). At least it was like that for me. I really hope we see that feature sooner than later. Maybe I’ll try setting up my own instance when I have enough time to figure out how that works.
Pretty much! There isn’t currently a way to migrate accounts though, so keep that in mind.
Might not be a feature you need now, but it is a nice-to-have from Mastodon that I’d like to see available everywhere.
