Sure but how would I go a out syncing all these accounts in terms of content I have seen, communities or similar? It seems to be an awful lot of effort
And I even noticed some difference in content on the same community on different instances so thats also a little weird
You can use this tool to help. https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim When you unsubscribe, you have to unsubscribe from each account manually, though.
Thanks for spreading the word about LASIM!
Just letting you know that today I finished an update that adds upload options, including an option you can turn on to "sync removals", which kindof achieves this.
It may not be the right tool for every scenario though - turning it on basically means that whatever account you upload too will end up identical to the one you downloaded by following/unfollowing and blocking/unblocking as needed. But if you've got new follows, blocks, etc. spread across several accounts you wouldn't want to turn it on or you'd lose all the changes on the accounts except for whichever one you downloaded.
The option works better in scenarios where you're mostly using a Main account, and just trying to keep the Alt accounts in sync with whatever the Main account does.
Thanks for the work. You are a life saver. I coincidentally ended up in the scenario you described: using an account (big instance) to subscribe to everything. Syncing unsubscription from a main account would work well for me.
