No, you can’t move the existing account. But I think you can export your settings, including subscribed communities.
It might be a good idea to add a description to your lemm.ee account saying what your new account is, kinda like a forwarding address, because people will still be able to view your old account from their instances.
No, the best you can do is, if you want people to know your new one, is edit your profile now with a link to your new account. Because your old posts and profile won’t be gone when lemm.ee is gone.
lemme.ee is shutting down at the end of this month.
The admin team is understaffed and suffering from burnout.
You still have a few days to gracefully transition your account to another Lemmy instance.
Wait is there a way for me to move this account or am I misreading phrasing

That’s what I thought it just sounded like I could move the actual account

Take a backup from settings. It contains subscriptions, saved posts and blocks
I didn’t know I could export save posts
Do I just go to the lemm.ee website and export that?
Yes, go to site and into settings.
I believe you can export settings, subscriptions, etc and apply them to a new account. Not old post or comments or anything.
Yeah that’s what I thought it’s just they made it sound like I could export the actual account
