Ehhh… if you mean one can port their post and comment history to another instance, then, no ^[1][1.1]^. If you mean one can port their account settings to another instance, then yes ^[2][1.1]^.

The main point is being able to still access all of the communities if your admin goes rogue (similar to what Reddit is doing). That's possible on Lemmy, you export / import your settings and you're set.

Keep the same username, add a link to your new and old profiles and the bio, and you just moved instances. You may have lost your comments history, but there is no karma anyway, so why care? And it's still accessible on your old account.

Does it keep your list of blocked communities?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Subscriptions and all blocklists (users, instances, communities)

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thank god for that! My blocked list is so long it's probably worth money.

Export it now as a backup, you never know!

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

If someone wants a backup account you can try my unbackupped server lemmy.mindoki.com too.

It's backuped but it might take time if something breaks, just so you know.

Another confusingly named community.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You missed a very interesting brainstorming session. Still less confusing than having !growthefediverse@slrpnk.net and !fedigrow@lemm.ee next to each other

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's what I was referring to.

You'd expect a community named fedibridge to be about https://fed.brid.gy/.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

But this product is called BridgyFed, there isn't any community about it, and most of the people on Lemmy don't like Bluesky or ATProto

Most discussions are happening on !bluesky@lemm.ee , so confusion should be minimal

I prefer phtn.app on desktop. IMO Voyager is themed too muck like an iPhone app even on android.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

It's the only mobile app available on both OS

[–] UrukGuy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think the issue is that there's choice. People want the simplest, most streamlined route.

If there was one signup that in the background picked your Lemmy World based on signup questions (IE location and Subs you are interested in), plus a main app to go with it, then it would be more tempting.

Also, Lemmy also looks identical to Reddit which is great for people who want to decentralise. But to the majority of users...it's just a Reddit clone with a smaller userbase. Why switch?

Keep it simple, whilst introducing something fresh
