I mean, it's certainly possible, just don't know if anyone has made a tool for it yet, and if they did, where they talked about it/published it.
Yeah, migrating posts/comments is something I haven't seen before. But syncing your subscriptions is already done here:
https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
How will this migration actually work? The comments transfer over?
For a little perspective:
Mastodon has an official way of migrating your account. It migrates your followers and accounts you follow, but doesn't migrate your posts afaik.
Migrating posts (and comments in Lemmy's case) would be iffy in itself imho and I'm also not sure whether that would even be possible since posts are synchronized to federated instances, where they would have to be updated too.
Depends on the specific tool. Don't think of this as a normal dev product. Think of it as an entire modding community. Who knows what they make?
