Bluesky managed to go offline practically entirely. I count on you folks to spork the hell out of this.

Eh, I feel like the important part of decentralization right now is the potential to migrate.
Like, how many social media sites actually last 5 years before shitting the bed?
If admins of an instance get shitty, it's trivial to move to a new one. Traditional social media you'd have to migrate to a completely different site, with different features, layout, and other stuff.
People won't all wait for the same reason, as the biggest becomes actually "big" we'll see them start to fracture.
There just wasn't enough people on fediverse to start out like that.
So think of Blue sky, World, and all those other "big" instances that still don't have that many users as the egg for the future fediverse that actually has enough users to be proper decentralized
Is it possible to move all of you subscriptions and comments to a new Lemmy instance?
Yes, in your user settings there should be a button to Export/Import. I think it grabs the communities you subscribe to and any comments that you've starred. The comments you've made won't come with.
Probably a deal breaker for many
What about block lists? Are those transferred?
I think so? Just go click the export button yourself and look through the file.
