I love the fediverse, but it hasn't fully solved the migration need problem. If I open an account on an instance which I later discover I don't like, I have to migrate for that as well.

The point as I see it is just limited to who do I want to follow, and what platforms can I use to do so? If bluesky turns to shit in a decade, but I get value out of it for that decade, maybe that's enough for my needs.

(FWIW, I am not on bluesky)

But at least the user content doesn't disappear into a black hole. Like what happened to parts of reddit.

I may be missing the reference here?

For Mastodon there's a feature for transferring your account from one server to another, with its history, etc.

Oh cool, is there anything similar for lemmy?

I haven't had to search it for lemmy, so I honestly don't know.
