Yeah I think a migration tool would be very helpful. I basically just signed up for the first instance that looked good without doing much research.
Having to do so much research just to join an instance is one of the biggest problems of the fediverse.
I saw some advice saying "don't overthink it, just choose one" and I'm glad I didn't take it because it seems like it couldn't be any further from the truth. Until migrating your account is an option, this just seems like a bunch of Reddits talking to each other, you can still lose everything if your local admin goes on a power trip.
Would be nice if there was a Link funciton. Not just on lemmy but on the fediverse as a whole. That way, you can create an account anywhere and "link" it to other instances so that everything is mirrored. That would mean that each time you post something it would have to travel toward all the instances
