    Also be warned, it doesn’t take your post history, or even saved posts with you, if you want saved posts you have to bring them manually, and you can’t take post history with you at all

    Probably not a big deal for the majority of people. Just link your old profile in your bio if you want to keep your “reputation”

      Also a “reputation” on the internet is worth the paper it’s printed on.

      Which is to say no one prints these things.

        Reputation can just be “recognized”. I remember probably between 25 and 50 usernames here, most of them for good reasons, it’s good to be able to recognize them even if they move instances

      Saved posts will probably be a bigger deal since people saved them for a reason.

      Also I did mention bringing history with you because spiteful admins can wash your history away when you can’t bring it with you. If you could claim and reassigned ownership of the federated posts and comments they’d only be able to wash it away from the communities they moderate.

        How many saved posts do people have on average?

          I’m not sure, I know that on this account I have over 100. On Lemmy.world I probably have way more. I have 40 on pawb.social. I have a lot here though. Much less on the others since I use those accounts less but I still have a handful on all the others.
