The point of ActivityPub is that you don’t have to migrate your account to be part of any shiny new social media platform. You can just stick to lemmy and interact with piefed communities/posts/comments without even knowing about it, just like this post here (it was posted by a piefed user and you’re viewing it on lemmy).
In an ideal world, and I know this is the end-game - Piefed does plan to support total community migration between instances. Ie a piefed.social community could move to piefed.ca and maintain all of its posts, comments and subscribers. Communities would be modular.
Lemmy wouldn’t recognise this though, and I doubt that would ever change.
At some point in the future I will also have time to implement community migration for Lemmy. In theory it’s not so complicated, but there are lots of other things to do.

I understand you don’t have to migrate your account. You do have to migrate the community though. Which caused a 20% decrease in members.
