I would really love if this became an option, since I’m planning on making my own instance. I’d like to keep my subscriptions, posts, comments and bookmarks and migrating would be something great. What do you think?

I’m wondering if a DIY middle ground can be reached with the API and some scripting

There is a script somewhere which allows people to export/import their subscriptions. It did not work for me, hence I did not save it. But in theory, workarounds should be possible.

You won’t be able to move your posts, but you could link to your old profile in your bio.

You can already do that, or do I get you wrong? Probably does not help when your old instance ceases to exist.
