Can I delete an account from "X" instance and re-create it with the same username? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

This question comes to me because since we cannot hop through instances (AKA transfer from one instance to another your account) I'd like to create an account into another instance, for research purposes, but if this 'feature' comes in a near future I'd love to bring my main account to said instance, preferably with the same username and if I have it "mirrored" (same username) I think that'd make it impossible.

From my understanding it should be possible, I think that's the case with many communities/sites, but I'm not sure here.

I hope I'm being clear.

Yeah I get that, now the question is if I can delete my account in "X" instance and then create it again with the same username.
