This is why we need to move more communities off lemmy.world. Resilience in decentralization
It's too bad Lemmy communities have to be homed on a single instance. It'd be more resilient if we could comment and vote from other instances.
im here for all of it
I'm surfing & posting here from my little Lemmy instance :-)
It's a pain in the hole having to register on other instances to vote and save posts though
You can save and vote from any instance. That is the point of the fediverse. You can have an account on lemmy.ml and interact with communities on lemmy.world.
Right, but then I have a separate set of saved posts and comments on every account. I'd have to try and remember which account I saved something under. It's a minor pain, but a pain nonetheless.
No you don't. As chris said, you can use the same account. I'm saying move communities off .world, not accounts. That way when it goes down, it doesn't hurt people on other instances as much (apart from being deprived of your luscious opinions for a few hours).
Can you even migrate accounts yet? Or do you just have to set up a new one and import all your communities manually?
Setup a new one and use this to import your subs:

There's also https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim which I have used in the past, it works nicely.
