The main issue I see with that is the privacy issue. You can host your kbin instance with your own domain yes, but then everyone can see your domain after your username. And it becomes quite easy to doxx you then...

Between this and the requirement for email address at registration I find the lack of privacy on kbin/fediverse a bit curious. I don't see why such a feature brings value, but at the same time I guess it's more for a technical reason. The list of users who upvoted need to be saved anyway and as it's decentralized anyway anyone can read it. Just wished it was hashed instead, or replaced by some digital signature.

My understanding is no. You would need account migration. And at the moment kbin or lemmy does not support it?
Only Mastodon seem to support that.

For me this is still a big issue to solve. But hopefully will happen at some point.
