Backup Lemmy account
This is kind of a question and conformation. Is there a way to backup a lemmy account from one instance and in case some thing happens, restore that user in another (with all the posts, likes, etc) ? I read that they were working on cross instance accounts , but is there a workaround meanwhile? Do we know the status of this implementation?

Karma is nothing more than fake internet points. When I tire of this persona or decide I'd rather make my home on another instance, I'll just spin up a new name wholly unrelated to the old name.
I'd rather prefer to keep my comments simply for the information.
I've learned to save stuff in a file on a cloud. I've learned the hard way so many times that I cannot rely on Reddit or Lemmy to guarantee I will always be able to access everything I've saved in my accounts.
Oh, I will definitely save important lemmy pages with archive.org
Specific information if possible will be saved to my obsidian.md vault
Also it sometimes happens that I get a reply to some pretty old comment.
Yeah, I get that. I treated my reddit account like that. My reddit account was 15 years old and you can do some sleuthing and doxxing and track down my real name if you're persistent enough. Nowadays I value privacy a bit more, so I just save important stuff to my second brain (these days it's in Obsidian.md, but I'm not married to a specific app).
I used to do that in Reddit. In Lemmy I just deactivate the voting system indicators.
