Unfortunately in the fediverse changing your domain isn't really possible. You basically have to start over.
It's technically possible, just really, really hard. One example of a successful migration was the transition from calckey.social to firefish.social. It was a massive, extremely difficult undertaking, though.
A big problem involves how user identities are tied to instances. If there were a way to decouple that, I think a lot of the pain goes away.
In a similar fashion, it would be great to find a way to migrate your post history, not just your followers, between one service and another. So far it's possible to request a backup, but only a few services allow importing said backup, let alone import a backup from a different provider (so far only Firefish, Pixelfed and its derivatives allow for the latter).
