well, yeah, I wouldn’t disagree but it’s not like they aren’t trying. I think with Mastodon the followers are a lot more important than the toots though. I would agree that posting history here is probably a bigger deal.
I haven’t looked at the back end to understand what might be involved, but just configuring the instance has given me an appreciation for the complexities and challenges involved in getting a federated app running at scale.
Are you actually able to migrate accounts between instances?
not yet on Lemmy, although you can on Mastodon, so it’s doable.
Unfortunately Mastodon does not migrate your toots so… it’s pretty useless.
The most important thing, your history, is not being moved. It’s nice that subscribers get migrated but that’s like 20% of the job.
