Thanks for the feature request, @Poopooracoocoo 😄

We have an issue open for this already which you can subscribe to: #1357

In the meantime, you can actually go to your profile directory and rename it to "move" between channels (more info here: #1357 (comment)). This isn't a perfect solution and you should back up before doing it. You can also use the sync feature to sync your bookmarks and all data between each channel and that should work great
