But we have no tools to migrate users or communities. We can not vote with our feet so much as start over and over and over.
I highly recommend people go to the issue relating to account migration on the lemmy software github and explain why account Migration is as important as it is and should not be considered as a second thought. Not being able to migrate ties you to an instance if you've been there long or participated a lot, it makes you dependent on them, this is not a good dynamic to have in the Fediverse, it's why other platforms like Mastodon have profile migration.
