So, how? How can I take my data with me as a back-up and leave? How can I migrate and upload that back-up to another instance, saving me from resubbing to a plethora of disparate communities repeatedly should I wish?

    I don’t think you will be able to bring “your data” if you mean the posts since they are duplicated all across the instances. :)

    But your user profile data maybe.

    Actually in theory it would be possible to federate deletion of a users posts also, so it’s deleted everywhere. I guess it would be like going in and clicking delete on each post manually.

      Don’t know if there are existing issues on this, but it’ll be interesting to see how lemmy and kbin tackle user migrations, if at all.
