So I realized that signing up on lemmy.world may not have been the best option for me, so I’m wondering what the best way to move instances (I’d like to move to pawb.social or lemmy.blahaj.zone) for my account would be I’m most worried about leaving everything I made on this account behind forever, but I’ve seen online that there’s no way to actually move your account to another instance, so what do you guys suggest the best procedure is?

In your bio on old profile set a link to your new profile, that’s the only way currently. Then set up a script that migrates your subscription list to the new account.
Somewhere in your profile settings there’s an export. It won’t export your posts, just which communities you follow and who you’ve blocked, etc. Import those into your new account on the new instance.
I’m curious why you’d like to move away from .world? I’m mostly lazy, but I also have not found another instance that even seems worth the effort.
Main reason is that imo, lemmy.world is already quite big, and smaller communities need more support/users Aside from that, It would also say more about me!
