    I believe Mastodon has a “transfer accounts” feature. I don’t know if Lemmy and Kbin do though.

      It’s tricky to implement though. Unfortunately ActivityPub didn’t really consider account transfers as part of the initial protocol design.

      It’s something Bluesky is doing better, since they designed their system to be able to handle transfers from day 1, as a core part of the protocol. (it’s going to become federated, eventually, but using their own protocol instead of ActivityPub).

          Yeah… For EU users, I guess it’d have to be limited based on the relevant data transfer laws (i.e. if your account is on an EU instance, only allow transferring to other EU instances).
