that's one of the plus points of using the fediverse I've heard? and I just did a quick google and at least mastodon software has that function.
Now that I'm here now, at least lemmy/mbin seem like it can't yet. kind of. lemmy does allow to export and import some settings to move around instances.
nucleative put 2 different ideas in their comment actually.
The first idea was moveable accounts, just transferring like Mastodon does, which still gives the instance admin a chance to decline or ban you.
The 2nd idea was the account working on all instances at any time by using public/private key encryption, this could cause issues with moderation.
I guess you could combine the ideas to require an explicit transfer, while still using the encryption keys to maintain ownership of old content in some way, maybe.
Lemmy's export/import settings isn't really that different from what Mastodon does, since you normally can't follow Lemmy users anyways, so there are no followers (or very few) to transfer.
