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?

Yeah well, I thought of maybe attaching a public key to all the messages and then when a user gives a instance a signed challenge the instance wanted, then the instance could allow the user to take ownership of these messages with that public key. But I guess only the nostr protocol does something similar, Lemmy doesn't do it yet.
