Just created my own instance, what is the easiest way to transfer subscribed communities? - eviltoast

I decided to set up my own instance to give me more control over my lemmy experience. But I had already subscribed to lots of communities on several other instances.

What is the quickest and easiest way to transfer all those subscriptions over so that I can view them in my own instance?

    I need this also, but not for the same reason. I’ve created user accounts on several large/medium/small instances to serve as redundancy in case one or more of my favorite instances is having technical difficulties or just gets decommissioned. I’d like to synchronize my community subscriptions across multiple accounts so that I can easily switch between user-accounts/instances without missing anything I’m already subscribed to.

    I previously found and bookmarked this “Lemmy Migrate” script, but I’ve not yet had an opportunity to dive in and try it. Take a look, maybe it’ll work for you.

      Interesting, I’ll check that out. RES used to have something similar to keep you synced across computers.
