Is it possible to migrate my account to another instance?
Is it possible to migrate my account to another instance?
Is it possible? I'm with sh.itjust.works but I saw a few posts who were saying that my instance blocks certain stuff. Now I'm not thinking of jumping ship right this second just wondering if that is a possibility.
You're viewing a single thread.
You can download your account settings, and upload to a new account on another instance. https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
This is really cool, if it works. Anyone try it out yet?
Author here! I've been posting about it a good bit, and especially with the hack of .world and vlemmy's disappearance, now others have started sharing it too. Besides myself testing it with lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, and lemm.ee, I've seen at least a handful of people that say they've run it without issues. I'm assuming the real number is much higher but there isn't any tracking in the app, or even a download counter, so I really have no idea.
Only known issue at the minute is whether it works on Mac OS X. It theoretically does, but the only person who attempted it ran into issues where OS X wanted to open it as a text file instead of running the program - and it's the only platform I can't test myself.
Obviously if you do have any issues you can report them on GitHub.
Works fine , only one or two subs won’t pass in my situation
I wish I knew this before Vlemmy went down
Oh this is great to know thanks! This might help in the event of a unexpected shutdown. May be cool to get some auto backup tools soon!!!
