(Full disclosure: I made one of the tools)

With the vlemmy situation ongoing, i feel like it would be useful to put this here (i did not make either of these tools)
Lemmy Account Settings Instance Migrator (LASIM) copies all your subscribed communities and blocks and lets you upload them to another account, in just a few clicks
lemmy-migrate does the same thing but without a GUI and support for uploading your backup to multiple accounts at once
Oh wow I wish I knew that last week…
In fairness, LASIM has only been out for 5 days :)
Oh how I wish I knew that two days ago
Went through all my communities, triggered a search on my freshly set up instances, clicked the link, subscribed. Took over 30 minutes. 2 days later, I saw one of those scripts -.-
Exact same here. The only bright side is when I did it VLemmy was so close to death that the scripts may not have worked on it.
Does anyone know why vlemmy went down?
No, not yet.
My old instance (discuss.tchncs.de) is running happily along and is also where I create communities on ;)
