I've said it before but I'll say it again, when account migration is delivered, it'll be easier for people to grasp.
Also I'll say this to anyone that stumbles across this post before joining Lemmy. Look for a small instance with room to grow as opposed to a massive instance. You'll find your user experience a lot nicer.
Unfortunately this might not be true. Instances need maintainance. If the one that spun it up doesn't dedicate time and resources to it your experience might just be worse than average.
In my case I was having all kinds of timeout issues and occasionaly instance went down. Moved to a bigger and more active one and never had issues since.
Oh, you need a good admin for sure.
I looked for a small instance with experienced admins. It's not very small anymore though, I might move to a new one.
Is account migration on the roadmap?
