It's a myth popularized by Walt Disney in a documentary where they made the claim and dumped a bunch of lemmings off a cliff into the sea to prove they did just that.
I agree. Even if it just means exporting your settings and subscriptions as a JSON and importing it elsewhere. Mastodon has a more "proper" migration feature that would work better for communities, but I'm not sure how well that'd scale to Lemmy which has much more posts per community than Mastodon will per user.
I'd like to see a GitHub clone for the Fediverse that enabled the cross-instance forking of code. The recent goings-on with the FOSS Invidious make me worry about the future of all open-source software that tries to allow us some level of privacy. Putting it on a distributed network would be extremely beneficial to prevent megacorps from bullying such projects out of existence.
