You are on lemmy.world you can see it at least in the web browser in lemmy

Hey @[email protected], I looked it up, and there is an upcoming option to move your account in the Lemmy software release version 0.19 :

Users can now export their data (community follows, blocklists, profile settings), and import it again on another instance. This can be used for account migrations and also as a form of backup. The export format is designed to remain unchanged for a long time. You can make regular exports, and if the instance becomes unavailable, register a new account and import the data. This way you can continue using Lemmy seamlessly.

Note that this won’t export posts and comments. Right now lemmy.world is still using version .18.5 of the server software, and according to this announcement the admin team hasn’t upgraded because of stability concerns, which is understandable. But the export feature is coming here, Fyi. Hope this is helpful.

I’m curious, how do you not know which instance you signed up on? Do you access Lemmy from a web browser or an app like Voyager or something? From your profile, it looks like you are registered on lemmy.world, like me.

WRT moving accounts: most people just create a brand new account when they find a new instance they really like, but I remember reading that there’s supposed to be a way to export all your user data and import it to another instance…as long as the source and target instances support it, that is. yeah, sorry this is wrong, I think I misremembered, there’s no real way yet to move your posts and comments to another instance.
