This is kind of a question and conformation. Is there a way to backup a lemmy account from one instance and in case some thing happens, restore that user in another (with all the posts, likes, etc) ? I read that they were working on cross instance accounts , but is there a workaround meanwhile? Do we know the status of this implementation?

    Yeah, Lemmy and the GDPR is just an accident waiting to happen. I suppose somebody could just write a script to extract the requested information from the (PostgreSQL?) database. And share that script with other admins. But there are other parts of the GDPR that we also don’t pay any attention to.
