Backup Lemmy account (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

This is kind of a question and conformation. Is there a way to backup a lemmy account from one instance and in case some thing happens, restore that user in another (with all the posts, likes, etc) ? I read that they were working on cross instance accounts , but is there a workaround meanwhile? Do we know the status of this implementation?

I agree it would be abused the way it is now, but there could have been signing of messages.

That would have been better IMO, because then you would "own" your identity and could transfer that identity to a different instance if you wanted to later.

But if that isn't in the protocol, then it isn't in the protocol.
