Not just speaking technically but economically. As user number mount up their post is just going to add up. I know instaces may distribute user, but server space isn't going to go down for anyone. It just seems like built to fall.

Is there a feature to migrate users from one instance to another ?

I think it will be important when some instances will shut down. As long as people can move, then I think we can spread out the load.

I know my instance is handling the load very well and I'm really grateful for it.

Account migration is planned, at least partially, for the next release IIRC

There is a program I used to transfer my subscriptions and settings to a different instance.
