I made a little tool for migrating Lemmy settings / subscriptions / blocks between accounts - eviltoast

See the linked page for information about how it works, limitations, etc. and I’ll of course answer any questions below!

As I have stated in the release section, this software is alpha so please don’t be afraid to report bugs!

Releases are here: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases

Right now the program only supports Lemmy BE 0.18.1-rc9, but new releases will try to support new versions as they are released. The Lemmy API is changing a ton right now, but I’ll try to keep up.

    MacOS. Literally has no extension or anything. I have no idea how to run this thing.

      Yeah I can use GitHub to generate Mac OS X artifacts but I can’t test them, so maybe it doesn’t even work.

      I suspect it’s just a permissions thing on the binary though, and running into the same issues as Ubuntu. I assume nothing happens if you just double click it? Or an error message?

        This is what I get if I double click it (after all the security prompts).

          Yeah it’s not treating it as an app, it’s trying to open it as a text file haha. But I don’t own a Mac, so I can’t debug the steps one would need to take to make OS X treat it as an application.

          I think it’s just a permissions thing, but again I’m not sure. I think a terminal call to mark it as executable or changing the extension might do it.

          I guess I’ll have to find someone in my life with a Mac hahaha.
