Will there be a way to migrate your account to another instance? (self.asklemmy)

I would really love if this became an option, since I'm planning on making my own instance. I'd like to keep my subscriptions, posts, comments and bookmarks and migrating would be something great. What do you think?

See the Lemmy blog:

At the same time, we are seeing lots of requests to implement major new features, such as migration between instances, or combining similar communities. As described above, we are completely overloaded with work, and definitely won’t have time to implement these in the near future. If there is a feature you want to see implemented, you will likely need to work on it yourself, or find someone who can.

God I love FOSS, I contributed with a very tiny feature but it made me feel so good knowing I contributed to a beautiful, community owned, project

This is the feature in question:

Moving user profile to a new instance #1985: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

I imaginated it, there are only two developers and the work they're doing is awesome. I'd like to contribute to the project but unfortunatly I don't know Rust and all the related technologies
