They kinda can't be a spez, by design. Just make sure you make backup accounts on all the other instances, and use them occasionally
It'd be cool if lemmy implements features that'll help switching instances easier, like what mastodon did.
At the very least, it's super simple to do in Jerboa if you have accounts on each.
get to the github repo and chuck a comment in support of this with maybe some description of your use case and benefits too
How does one make a backup account on another instance?
I mean literally just register your account again. Maybe subscribe to the communities you like on each account if you have the time to, but if not just reserve your username on each and have them saved in your password manager and ready to go in case of a break-glass incident.
