Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Do you really need to transfer anything? Just sign up someplace else, maybe with the same username and continue posting. Keep the old account around and occasionally log in during the first weeks. But in my experience, old posts and comments don't get any engagement anyways, so you won't get any new things in your inbox after 2 weeks or so.
For your existing community subscriptions, try the "Export" and "Import" buttons in your settings. At the top right, behind your username: "Settings" and then there is a button to export everything. You should be able to import that file on your new instance.
And we don't have any karma here, or restrictions for new users to post. So it's not like on Reddit where you'd need your history and score.
Thanks for the exhaustive reply ! I was mainly thinking about subscriptions and I didn't know that there was a dedicated option in the settings, it should work beautifully then! Thanks for your help again
