I've created a quick script to copy your communities from one account to another. Useful when switching instances.

Thanks for this. I need a tool to copy subscriptions over to a different account. Is there something like that?

[–] MoreCoffee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure what you mean, that's what this tool does. It will login to your main account, get a list of all your subscribed communities and subscribe to them on a new account that you specify.

Great, thank you.

Thanks! I made a backup Lemmy account (for if my main instance went down or had other issues) so the idea of being able to easily move communities over is great.

I just tried and It works great! may I suggest to accept multiple destination accounts? perhaps with a config file, instead of a parameter? that way can be also possible to automate synchronizing the accounts that in multiple instances. Thanks for all the work.

I was just thinking about doing something like to migrate some of my communities over (and was even planning on writing it in Python). Just ran it and it worked perfectly. Thank you, this saved me a bunch of time!
