Just to flag I am working on "Import/Export of all BuddyPress user data" as per the BuddyPress roadmap for 1.4.

Moving closed ticket out of Future Release.

2024 is ​Data liberation year for WordPress. We should follow this move and give users the power to easily export and import their data somewhere else.

Moreover, it should help us provide BP Block theme developers content to build their themes.

We'll work on it during next development cycle.

#408 appears to have some relevance, not sure if it should be considered a duplicate.
