I have to admit, I'm a bit frustrated with myself right now.
It turns out that I've been mistaken all year long. I was under the impression that Pleroma didn't have the capability for account migration. However, I recently discovered that it does, although the process is not particularly user-friendly.
Unlike most server software that usually have separate settings for account migration or a simple option under Settings > Data Import / Export, Pleroma takes a slightly different approach. You need to navigate to Settings > Security and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen.
Once you've reached that point, you'll be presented with two options. The first one is called "Account aliases" and it allows you to smoothly transfer another Fediverse account to your Pleroma account. The other option, called "Move account," helps you migrate your Pleroma account to another Fediverse software server.
It's a bit disappointing to note that there isn't much in terms of documentation or tutorials available on how to go about this account migration process with Pleroma. I personally had to invest a significant amount of time and effort into researching and figuring it out on my own.
