Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the repository's account export and import entry points and reviewing how local shares are represented; done means a share from the old instance is imported as a federated share using the original owner's instance address.

A share from dog on the instance example.com becomes a share from [email protected] at the new instance.
