is anyone still actively working on for the fediverse?

I imagine you have a secret key for your account which is stored on your laptop (or bitwarden), not the server. Then when you want to migrate your account to another instance, you can use this secret key to re-create your account on the new server. The new server makes requests to the servers of all the people that were following you, telling them to follow your new account on the new server.

Basically server migration as I think it works now, but not requiring the consent of the server you were migrating away from.

Something like this would bring one of my favorite parts of scuttlebutt, to the fediverse. I think if implemented well, without making anything more confusing.

I saw a thread about it here that was related too... about what a .mbox file would like for the fediverse

There are better ways to do this i think. Let's talk if you want to implement.

The main project that comes to mind regarding #NomadicIdentity in the fediverse is #Zap.

An account backup file (.json) can be generated at any point. The file can be used to either migrate or clone your identity to another compatible site/instance.

Oh and I must also mention that migrating/cloning in #Zap not only applies to account/identity, it also includes the option of migrating/cloning content (posts) as well.
