You just make another account on a preferably smaller instance.
It’s a new account though, that means you’re not migrating anything.
I expect there will be some tools in the future which allow to migrate/sync your subscriptions between accounts at least but comments and posts will always be tied to the instance your account belongs to, I guess.
You cannot currently migrate your account from one instance to another. You can do so with a community, but not with your user account. This is something being talked about for a future version of Lemmy. In the meantime, there are tools and scripts out there that attempt copy data/subscriptions over from one account to another, but they are hit-and-miss
I just checked into this, it looks like this is not available on Lemmy as of yet. It’s available on Mastodon, and is an important feature, so it will likely be added in the future.
I would suggest creating an account on your new instance for now, considering it’s so early on. In the future I expect this to be added.
It’s not. At all. Can’t see anything but posts I commented on. Can’t reply in those. Couldn’t send you a DM. Typing this right through lemmy.world. It’s completely broken and I’m about to delete it and move on.
It’s completely broken for me after two days of error messages. It was working okay. I changed nothing and now nothing works art all.
Your instance was hit hard by the migration. This is normal. It’ll be better once Lemmy.world does some upgrades or once you move to another instance
I’m new to all this (Reddit refugee), how do you move to another instance? If you do move, do your comments and whatnot all come with you?
No not yet. To move, you just have to create a new account on another instance.
Thanks!

Oh, okay thank you!

Thank you for clarifying for me!

Thank you. I hope it’s added at some point, would be good to have. Thankfully, Lemmy.world seems to be working a lot better for me today!
there was a major update that was done today. I think this is going to basically be the new normal.
Oh that’s great!
how’s it running after today’s updates on lemmy.world?
It’s not. At all. Can’t see anything but posts I commented on. Can’t reply in those. Couldn’t send you a DM. Typing this right through lemmy.world. It’s completely broken and I’m about to delete it and move on.
