So throwing out a hypothetical here. I am going to migrate a sub from reddit where I was basically the only person creating the content. How would I keep someone else from picking the same username as me on a different instance, and then copying my exact posts after I post them on my instance? The content I put up on reddit solely belonged to me, but I do have a little concern about the scenario that I am posing.
On the desktop version of Lemmy I believe it lists the instance along with the username.
If you are worried about users using an app like Jerboa not being able to tell the difference you could rely on things like a unique profile picture or PGP signatures. It all really depends on your threat model.
It would be a lot of work to do anything more than cross post your content.
