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.

    Thank you! That explains a little. Follow up question: If the new instance has defederated or “blocked” some community that I am following on this instance, will I still be able to follow them if I import the saved file?

      If it has defederated from an instance you will no be able to see any posts from this instance‘s community
