LASIM - Migrate Your Lemmy Accounts Between Instances - lemm.ee

I’m not the author. Just sharing this useful multiplatform tool

I used this for the first time this morning, it’s great! Just a few clicks and it does the job.
Now who can turn this into a web app? ;)
While this would be an awesome feature, Lasim doesn’t “migrate your Lemmy account between instances”, it copies “blocked users, blocked communities, followed communities, and most profile settings” between accounts on the same or different instance. Which, if you ask me, is already pretty cool.
It works surprisingly well but I wish it copied all of your profile data, including Avatar and Banner.

There are some shortcomings, but overall it’s a useful tool. Due to recent server stability issues of some of my ‘home’ instances, I’ve been creating accounts on smaller instances and using this to quickly migrate my subscriptions.

Ideally, I’d like a tool than can just keep a specific list of accounts in sync as much as possible in realtime.

A few days ago I posted about an app to sincronize Lemmy accounts, here's the design update - sh.itjust.works

Following recommendations from the comments I implemented material you with dynamic colors and pushed content to the beginning and I really liked the result The idea is to keep accounts synced using an background service btw I’ll keep improving it and I aim to release a build for those who want to test, it’s FOSS

Wow, that looks awesome.

What’s weird is how I missed that announcement. I used to be sub’d to [email protected] but they announced they were packing up and merging with another android community on another instance (that I started subscribing to). I thought the community on lemmy.world was dead, so I blocked it because I kept accidentally subscribing to the dead community. I’m shocked to see it thriving again.

It came back a few weeks ago
Lemmy.world has their own reddit code of conduct moment.
I’m not sure if it was as much of that and more so people who didn’t wanna go to another instance were complaining about how they essentially locked that name just because they throught the reddit android mods should be the true successors and some were very against the idea of just giving control to ex reddit mods. I didn’t notice it took off again either but people were really calling on the admins to replace them
FWIW ‘ubuntu.zip’ works just fine on my fedora…
Yeah sorry that’s probably poorly named - it gets built on an Ubuntu Gitlab runner and I’ve never gone and validated if it worked across other Linux distros - almost certainly does though.
Hey thanks for sharing my tool! If anyone has any questions, let me know!
