Apparently there's an idea for a feature to enable users to transfer their account and data from one federation node to another. Pretty sure it's in the "just an idea" phase, so don't hold your breath.

Would be nice to transfer identity to a new domain but leave the server the same, like we typically do with email.

Not understanding your claim...

How can I "transfer identity" to a new domain in email?

I can't move [email protected] to @outlook.com, nor can I move [email protected] to [email protected] .

Well, with email you can a) forward from one address to another b) set up an auto-reply (I've moved), c) copy your message history via imap/maildir/mbox-files. Ditto for address book(s).
