    username changing

    It is technically possible, it is just extremely difficult, you’ll need an admin to do it for you (many won’t know how, and many will be unwilling), and it will 100% cause problems down the line. I wish it wasn’t too, though, I usually change my online name every few years, and having to restart is a little annoying.

    Account migration

    It’s possible on most fedi platforms, seems Lemmy doesn’t offer it though. Not surprising, given it’s not really the same kind of platform as the broader fediverse is.

      It’s 202fuckin6 , should be beyond possible for username changes on user level , fact AP platforms do them this way in current year’s BEYOND archaic ! Some technical limitation ? Oar just nobody figured out how to implement it yet ?
