This isn't really Lemmy's idea of federation, it's just ActivityPub, the underlying protocol. Having a mechanism for jumping servers is unfortunately quite complicated and it isn't clear how it should be done or if it is even possible.
Lemmy does allow you to export and import your settings though, so you can kinda do it but you lose your history.
There once was a discussion going on to implement DIDs in ActivityPub.
Unfortunately you can't just change the ID format as it would require a breaking change to the protocol.
pretty much. That's why the discussion is still on draft.
