Why does it matter?

I want my data with me (i.e. available in the accoutn I mainly use) and not on some other account I don’t use anymore.

You HAVE more options. You just decided to accept a system where those options don't matter at all.

As a non-American I couldn't care less about American politics. So here's a recipe for classic waffles instead:

• 1 egg
• 225g self-raising flour
• 1 tbsp golden caster sugar (optional)
• 250ml milk
• 50g butter, melted and cooled
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
• maple syrup and icing sugar, to serve (optional)

Crack the egg into a large bowl, then tip in the flour and a generous pinch of salt. Add the sugar, if using, then gradually whisk in the milk followed by the melted butter until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla, if using. Alternatively, make the batter by blitzing all the ingredients together using a blender or hand blender. Can be made 1-2 hrs ahead and chilled.

Heat a waffle maker following the manufacturer's instructions and brush with a little of the oil. Then ladle in enough batter to just cover the surface. Cook following the manufacturer's instructions (usually 5-6 mins) until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven while you make the rest. Drizzle with maple syrup or sprinkle with icing sugar, if you like.

Yes, but reflector can't do magic. Just manually go through the mirrors and try if they're fast enough. You should prefer geographically closer mirrors.

losing all your comments and posts history

They are not lost, they are still there

Yes, they’re there, in the old account on the old instance, and not here, where the new account on the new instance is.

Lemmy shouldn’t be used for messaging

That is entirely not the point. (Also: messaging on Lemy and instant messaging have nothing in common and should not be confused.)

you can then start using your new account as if it was the old one.

Except the things I mentioned.

Migrating or moving an account is not part of ActivityPub. Mastodon extended the protocol to have a move activity.

Unless Lemmy devs come up with something similar and extend the protocol, there is no way to properly move/migrate the account to another instance. The current solution is to create a new account on your desired instance and then export the data on your old instance and import it on your new instance and leave a note in your bio for old instance/account[^1]

Start here for details on this. According to the devs this would be nice to have but is of very low priority.

[^1]: ignoring the fact that you need to re-subscruibe to communities with manual approval and losing all your comments and posts history as well as all private messaging history and contacts.

Tolle Sache! Gerade auch im Winter endlich mal gefahrlos benutzbar!

Aber "nur für Radfahrer" wird viele Fußgänger - wie bisher auch schon bei Infrastruktur nur für Radfahrer - leider nicht interessieren.

Bekommt Gas-Gerd dann auch sein Bundestagsbüro wieder zurück?

Supports both programming and gaming

Both is super uncritical.

You can install Steam as Flatpak without any real or major issues nowadays and thanks to Proton you can basically play any games except those that use Windows-specific ring 0 spyware as their DRM or anti-cheat mechanism. Pro-Flatpak: You don't need to deal with 32-bit libs dependency hell.

Same with programing. The relevant compilers are all available for pretty much all common distributions. Same with the common scripting interpreters as well as all common IDEs.

but I’m considering moving it to a VM if the performance impact is manageable

Depending on your VM solution you can usually pass-through CPU and/or GPU and have nearly the same performance as on bare metal.

but am open to exploring new options.

This might be a bold move, but have you considered Arch Linux? You need to do most things by yourself, but the wiki is one of the best and most complete and extensive distribution-specific Linux wikis available. So if you're willing to read instructions and learn new things, why not give it a try? (Disclosure: Arch is my daily driver since 2008 on desktops, laptops and homeservers).

Ich weiß nicht, wie das heutzutage ist, aber in den Neunzigern waren wir froh, wenn überhaupt Klopapier da war um die verkrustete Klobrille zu bedecken ...

Aber ja, eigentlich sollte es selbstverständlich sein, dass die sanitären Anlagen regelmäßig gereinigt werden und entsprechende Bedarfsartikel in brauchbarer Form und Menge vorhanden sind.

Ansonsten ist doch der Running-Gag dass die Firma (oder wer auch immer) von dreilagigem auf einlagiges Klopapier umgestellt hat um Kosten zu sparen, und der Klopapierverbrauch sich danach dann verdreifacht hat.
