It’s not a huge amount of steps but feels unnecessary… I remember being put off applying for instances as would need to complete an application and got rejected a few times.
The problem is not their personal account but the communities they manage, which are presumably also stuck on piefed and much more cumbersome to migrate and rebuild.
From another of PugJesus’ comments in this thread:
Yeah, as a user, it’s great to have options. If I was just an ordinary user, this probably wouldn’t even faze me. I’d hop over to Piefed.ca or something.
Unfortunately, I run several large comms who I managed to just about get to functioning without me…
… three times, so far, just before having to migrate and start the process all over again.
Is it really that hard to do a migration?
1: Backup your lemmy settings
2: Create new account on new instance
3: Upload saved lemmy settings to new account
4: Change browser bookmark
What else is there? I don’t see what the big deal is.

Rebuilding comms is the hard part. Building a userbase so posts aren’t being shouted into the void. It takes months of activity.
