How do I move my account to another instance? (lemmy.world)

I'm still quite lost when it comes to the fediverse. I created an account on the main instance, however as I understood more how it works, it seems like certain instances that interest me are "defederated" from this instance, and vice versa. So now I want to move my account to be able to see those instances, however I want to keep my follows and my posts I have on this instance. Is that possible? I read that fediverse is resistant to censorship in this regard, so there must be something I'm missing here.

I think it was lemmy.dbzer0 (?) something along those lines. However when I use the tool to see defederated instances this one doesn't show up, however I can't find it when I search for it either.

You can see lemmy.dbzer0 from Lemmy.world I believe.

All I get when I search that instance is Mullvad VPN. Can an admins also block specific communities within an allowed instance?

[–] Majestic@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

They can block specific communities.

Previously there was this whole thing over lemmy world admins banning their piracy community so I would not be surprised if they were blocking certain dbzero communities as well out of their extremely cautious and risk averse nature.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

They can, yes, but I am not sure if that's your issue.

Either way, joining dbzer0 should fix your problem.
