(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
Man, in the ol’ days (20 days ago) I did this all manually.
Kids these days have it easy!
I’ll throw my code into the ring as well. I posted it over in the Python community and have been using it myself.
It’s not the most user friendly yet though. Still working on improving it as I get time though and open to suggestions/requests.
Am I just super dumb? I don’t see instructions on how to actually run LASIM? The instructions say that’s the first thing you do but don’t say how
Shame none of these support 2FA yet
FYI LASIM now supports 2FA login
Cautiously assuming it’s a false positive, but LASIM is throwing some warnings from VirusTotal for the Windows version, saying it’s a password stealer (VHO:Trojan-PSW.Win32.Agent.gen). Given the nature of what it does, I can understand it being flagged. Nothing when scanned directly with AV. Figured it was worth at least mentioning.
This was reported a few days ago: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/issues/15
You can see my responses - I’m not sure there is much I can do, but I’m open to suggestions.
As stated in the linked issue, the most secure thing is to build it yourself or download directly from GitHub actions vs trusting the binaries I publish to releases.
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
