I think it's important to enable account portability across instances, like what Mastodon has. It should be easy for people to move to a different community, back up their data so they can re-substantiate their known persona if their instance goes poof, etc.
definitely. account migration and maybe community migration (unsure how that'd work exactly) would be great. losing history every time an instance shuts down isn't very fun
Could you potentially export your preferences and list of subscriptions to a JSON file, which you could then supply to a new instance?
Almost definitely, but no guarantee a new instance will have the same communities 1-1 though. It would be really useful for resubbing to non-local communities thought
