Is it on the road map ? Like it would be really useful when an instance it going to shut down or an instace admin goes volatile , so we don't have to manage several accounts .

Update : it does have the feature well kinda you can only import setting and subscribtion no saved posts or anything . To do this you have to go to the web page, sign in , setting , import . Hope this was helpfull.

it would be nice if accounts existed seperately from instances somehow.

like a seperate identity service for the fediverse in general. Ideally with an option to use different aliases on different instances, instransparently to the instances, but with some way to carry over "reputation" from other instances.

From what I remember the main issue here is technical.

At the end of the day, your account needs to be attached to a technical entity, even if it's only an identity provider. You could imagine Lemmy instances that would only host accounts and not communities (some of them are already in this case, but more because of a lack of activity their from their own volition). For the reputation, you can indicate your alts on every of your accounts. Not the most elegant way, but there are areas where we are functioning with even more tweaks and work arounds (e.g. moderation)
