I discovered this a couple of days ago: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim. It just transfers your subscriptions to your new account in another instance. I don't really mind not being able to transfer comments for now, but this has been very very helpful when I moved my subscriptions from one of my lemmy.world accounts to another instance because of the recent downtimes.
Yea this is what should be aimed for in the middle term. Anything bigger involves a number of technical chalenges.
But being able to migrate your "setup" to another instance is the middle ground that will actually doable in the short term and a rather significant improvement in the user experience.
"Setup" would include subscriptions, and any further details about subscriptions that may come along like user defined multi-subscriptions etc, settings, cakeday (suggested elsewhere in the comments and a wonderfully human suggestion), blocks etc.
