Not the OP, but can you move your account to a private instance or is it not possible at the moment?
It's not possible at the moment. Lemmy devs acknowledged it was a widely requested feature but last I read, they were focused on maintaining the performance of Lemmy during the spike of users during the great Reddit migration.
Ah ok makes sense, thanks.
Not yet, that's (open) issue #1985: Moving user profile to a new instance.
The devs also explicitly mentioned this request in their statement:
For now, you can create another account on another instance and use that instead (or both), or just peek how the experience might be.
Ah ok, I might try making a second account at some point, not yet though.
