This is kind of a question and conformation. Is there a way to backup a lemmy account from one instance and in case some thing happens, restore that user in another (with all the posts, likes, etc) ? I read that they were working on cross instance accounts , but is there a workaround meanwhile? Do we know the status of this implementation?

Is that working now, though? Last time I heard you can't transfer messages between servers as well on Masto. Would be amazing if it's possible now!

You can't transfer but you can at least archive.

The issue I could see is ill-intentioned users importing a modified archive to alter the publication date to make it appear they posted something at a specific date in the past when they in fact didn't.
