How can I migrate all my likes, community subscriptions, posts, comments etc to another instance?
Is this even currently possible?
Thanks for reading
AfaIk, posts and comments cannot be exported.
For the rest you may use the “export settings” function in the “personal settings” section on the webpage of your Lemmy instance (yet I don’t know what is actually exported).
Alternatively, you may use one of the tools mentioned in this post (the post is in German, the linked webpages are in English): https://slrpnk.net/post/10923543
Thanks for answering. I will do this
Is it really that important? I could understand wanting to keep saved posts/comments, but you can easily copy paste those to a notepad.
In my case I have around 500 blocked users and around 700 blocked communities. I make a new account around once a year and I’d rather not start from scratch with each one.
That’s an excellent point. I also have a huge list of blocked comms. Didn’t think about that.
You don’t have to as those are in the settings you can export/import
U can export and import ur profile but thats about it. Accounts really should juat be a private key u hold that can be used on any instance but thats too advanced for the devs to figure out.
Thanks, I will export and import my profile. Hopefully things will be smoother in the future, but being able to export the some of the profile is better than nothing
There’s an ‘Import/export settings’ feature in your profile. It’ll move your subscribtions and blocks but not comments, likes and such. Just your user settings.
Thanks! Will do this
You should check out NOSTR.
