    You pick a piefed server and create an account there. You can transfer subscriptions, but that is not something i have done. Your content posted by your .world account stays with that account however.

      As someone who had to jump ship more than 3 times, I keep saying to think of their accounts as disposable because we don’t know if we picked right or when/if the mods/admins/hosts will go crazy.

        I started on .world and quickly realized I wanted a smaller instance. So I moved to .ee and sopuli, then when .ee went down I decided to not limit myself to a single instance. I do not have as many accounts as cm02 does, 4 total I think. But only use 3 of them much.

      I would recommend exporting your settings just in case. I was using an instance that kind of vanished for a week and then returned, but with my user account completely gone 😱

      It’s nice that you can just import your settings from a file on your own hard drive and continue from basically where you left.

        I lost my piefed.ee account too. I have my subscriptions backed up manually, but it would probably be a good idea to export, then save it in Bitwarden.
