Will there be a way to migrate your account to another instance? (lemmy.world)

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?

Yeah all content stays behind, so that's your toots (posts) and replies (comments). I was bit wary of migrating because of that, but just needed to change my outlook a bit and remember all online content is temporary. Tbh since your followers etc all move over with you it's made no difference at all and I can still log into the old account if I need to admin anything. Works fine!
