is there a way to migrate my account to another server
As the title states I would like to migrate to another server/provider (currently I am on matrix.org). Is that possible, without losing my chat history. I heard, that there is a tool, that invites your new account to all chats. But wouldn't that make my "person" chats to group chats?

The feature your interested in is called portable identities and is still in development, as far as i know. As far as matrix is concerned there is no difference between a personal chat and a group chat. There are rooms with members, thats it. Maybe the tool can kick your old identity after a successful transfer though. Hope this helps a little :)
You can migrate your account using this tool from Element: https://ems.element.io/tools/matrix-migration
Yes, it does make your DMs be under the rooms section, but you and your friends can input the command
/converttodminto Element's web/desktop client (on mobile, it doesn't work as far as I know), and you're back to normal.@nIi7WJVZwktT4Ze @mobergmann how cool is that?!
