Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

What can we do?

    extra-instance account transfer request is going?

    You mean settings or content?

    Settings have been exportable for a while now.

    Content cannot be and probably never will. Even Mastodon doesn’t allow it:

    Mastodon currently does not support importing posts or media due to technical limitations, but your archive can be viewed by any software that understands how to parse Activity Streams 2.0 documents.

      Thank-you.

      I was hoping that the content would be id linked to a user id so that moving an account would remain linked to the content if moved between instances.

      It’s not an inconceivable expectation for when instances close down or people find that the instance doesn’t suit them.

      Is that the case?
