What I would like as a solution is for accounts to be linked so you can post as the same user from any instance you’ve signed up with.
I’ve currently got 3 lemmy accounts. 2 on public instances, and 1 on my own instance that I’ve now moved to.
It wouldn’t be too hard to associate something like an ssh key with each user, so any server can verify if an account on 2 different instances is owned by the same person. You’d be able to transfer your account even after an instance goes down as long as the new instance has seen any of your comments or activity in the past. I think it could even transfer up/downvotes so you could have a global account karma rating for people to see.
