[โ] blackbarn@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I recently switched instances due to this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] aircooledJenkins@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (3 children) To switch, you make a new account, right? Cannot change your instance once a username is made? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [โ] blackbarn@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago Correct, a new account since accounts are tied to the instance. It's not a great experience at the moment but I suppose part of the trade-off for now with the fediverse. Maybe a tool or something native will be made later to help the use case. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] FunkyMonkey@feddit.de 3 points 3 years ago Your username is made on instances. So yeah, you can't just switch. However you could just recreate the username on a different instance though. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] ech0@lemdro.id 2 points 3 years ago You have to have a separate account for each instance. That's how Lemmy and other federated sites work. That's the whole point. permalink fedilink source parent
