Seriously, what people expected from it?

    I’ll be the odd one out here and write that I don’t mind not having the ability to migrate. The platform is intended to be pseudo-anonymous. I think one shouldn’t become too attached to their particular name and instead focus on the ideas being discussed and the information exchanged.

    For the same reason I hope karma continues to not be a thing and ignored by most clients even if the backend reports it.

      It’s probably more subscriptions that people care about, particularly since they are spread out and not always easy to remember.

        Unsurprisingly, tools for the migration of basic stuff like subscriptions and block lists have already been developed by the community.

        https://lemmy.world/post/1060796 (haven’t tried using it myself yet, but it’s probably much quicker than manual if you have a lot of subscriptions to migrate)

        A subscription import/export function would be much easier to implement but I don’t think that’s what users want when they say they want instance migration functionality.
