How can I migrate all my likes, community subscriptions, posts, comments etc to another instance?

Is this even currently possible?

Thanks for reading

    losing all your comments and posts history

    They are not lost, they are still there

    Yes, they’re there, in the old account on the old instance, and not here, where the new account on the new instance is.

    Lemmy shouldn’t be used for messaging

    That is entirely not the point. (Also: messaging on Lemy and instant messaging have nothing in common and should not be confused.)

      Why does it matter? Lemmy has no karma. You can keep your “reputation” bye’ using the same name and picture. You can search them using the usual search feature focused on that account.

      Genuinely asking, I changed accounts a lot in the past and never encountered any issue

        I want my data with me (i.e. available in the accoutn I mainly use) and not on some other account I don’t use anymore.
