Well, you can't. But you can transfere all your settings/subscribes/blocks etc.
Go to your account settings and hit "export" and save the file.
Make a new account on another instance
Go to that account's settings and import the file from your old account.
Thank you! That explains a little. Follow up question: If the new instance has defederated or "blocked" some community that I am following on this instance, will I still be able to follow them if I import the saved file?
If it has defederated from an instance you will no be able to see any posts from this instance‘s community
