I host my own Lemmy instance and have a user account on it that I use everywhere (I don’t host local communities, I just use it as a home for my Lemmy user account). I needed to re-home my Lemmy server, and though it’s a docker installation, copying the /var/lib/docker/volumes/lemmy_* directories to the new installation didn’t work. So I created a new Lemmy server.
How can I move my old account to the new server, so I can keep all my subscriptions and post/comment history?
If you’re not using the old domain then it would broke federation: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/backup_and_restore.html?highlight=changing#changing-your-domain-name
I guess there is no way to move your post/comment history to a new domain. It’s like if you change your domain then you can’t use old DB and if you don’t change it then you can’t re-install with fresh DB :)
Thanks, @iso@lemy.lol.
