  • I posted this on another thread about this, but I'll repost it here:

    I have made a tool that can backup / copy your account settings, subscriptions, and blocks to a new account: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

    There are others out there as well if you look.

    Obviously the loss of .ml communities would still be catastrophic to Lemmy, but at least your new account won’t start from ground-zero, and you can be less effected by downtime by having 2 accounts with the same subscriptions.

  • This was reported a few days ago: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/issues/15

    You can see my responses - I'm not sure there is much I can do, but I'm open to suggestions.

    As stated in the linked issue, the most secure thing is to build it yourself or download directly from GitHub actions vs trusting the binaries I publish to releases.

  • I wrote a tool that will help: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

    Let's you copy your subs, blocks, and profile settings between Lemmy accounts.

    You can run it as many times as you like and will keep adding new things.

    At the minute it never removes things though, so you'd have to unsubscribe multiple places.

  • I looked quickly at the API and while for any given post the system knows how you voted for it, there is no way to query for all the posts you've interacted with.

    Looks like they recently closed an open feature request for this, but they might be open to re-opening it if someone wants to write the code:

  • I made a tool that does this until we can get something baked into Lemmy itself: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

    There are a handful of other options out there too if ya search for em. Mine backs up / copies subscriptions, blocks, and a handful of profile settings.

  • It's not a feature of Lemmy itself yet, though I've seen one person attempting a PR and there are issues for it. It will arrive at some point but could be awhile.

    I made a tool to do it (subscriptions, blocks, and profile settings) in the meantime: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
