With the vlemmy situation ongoing, i feel like it would be useful to put this here (i did not make either of these tools)
Lemmy Account Settings Instance Migrator (LASIM) copies all your subscribed communities and blocks and lets you upload them to another account, in just a few clicks
lemmy-migrate does the same thing but without a GUI and support for uploading your backup to multiple accounts at once
ya fr i used it to copy settings to shitjustworks and lemmee, i don’t think my instance is going anywhere any time soon but ya can never be too careful
Hey, author of LASIM here if people have any questions!
Just so people know it does save everything to a JSON file when you click “download” so you can absolutely upload to multiple accounts or keep it as a backup.
Hopefully in future this is built in to the software. Ideally you’d be able to download a JSON/XML file from your settings page for your settings/subscribed communities then upload them to a different instance similar to how it works with Piped instances, for example.
