Isn't the point of Lemmy that you can just bounce to another instance?

There's no way to transfer accounts afaik, and just hopping instances doesn't solve the web of blocked / blacklisted domains anyway.
As for hosting it yourself, that's apparently really hard and even big communities are struggling with it. Lemmy/kbin also have issues with all the content you interact with being also downloaded to your instance which sounds like a legal and curation nightmare...

On lemmy for now there is not. But there is on Mastodon and having such a feature in lemmy is just a matter of time.

Sure hope so it solves all the problems. Well except voter spoofing thats a whole new can or worms.

All this drama happened on Mastodon. While user migration is a great feature to have for users, it won't solve this kind of issues.
