I am eventually going to host my own instance but for now just enjoying the free ride on Lemmy.world.

If I host my own instance is there a way to transfer this account over?

You lose your internet points though right?

If that's a concern for you I'd recommend some self reflection.

Not a concern, just worth noting.

If you take a look at my opinion score, you’ll see that my opinion is worth a lot because I had a lot of opinions in the past.

I like that lemmy doesn't show an aggregate on the webui.

I had a lot of opinions

Is that curable?

What lasim does is allow you download your account settings. That's all. So your subscriptions, block lists etc. It doesn't allow you to transfer posts/comments so yes, your points will be zero on your new account.

If you admin a Community, you can't transfer that automatically either.

Lemmy doesn't display your score anyways except for individual posts/messages. Atleast not the web view.

I truly don't get why it matters. On reddit I made a new account once a year or so anyways and on Lemmy I've got like 6 of these. I never paid any attention to my or anyone else's karma either.

No, I agree. The only possible argument in its favour is to tackle spam but even that's pretty easy to game.
