    Is there an automated way to move my account and all content to another instance?

      no

      the only thing that exists is LASIM which will allow to transfert your communities, blocks and profile settings from one account to an other (but you need to create the new account first)

        Keep getting an error when I go to download - “Cannot write file - access is denied”, and this is after it says that login is successful.

          Not sure what OS you are using but make sure you have write permissions in the folder you’ve extracted the app to. If you’re on Windows you might want to try running it as administrator.

      I think the answer is not yet, but unless you’re some kind of fediverse celebrity it shouldn’t be that burdensome, right?

        One benefit the Fediverse has over a centralized site is that, as long as you set the same display name and avatar, most people will recognize you after a migration. For example, I know a few fellow Lemmygrad guys who have alternate, identical Lemmy.ml accounts for posting on instances that block Lemmygrad, and you can’t even tell which account they’re using unless you visit their page.

      No but I believe there is something on GitHub to help subscribe to the same communities once you create a new account.
