Hi all, I’d like to migrate from Lemmy.ml, what would be your most user friendly method to accomplish this? So far I could only find scarce instructions with Python scripts and I wish things were simpler. Thanks !

    Do you really need to transfer anything? Just sign up someplace else, maybe with the same username and continue posting. Keep the old account around and occasionally log in during the first weeks. But in my experience, old posts and comments don’t get any engagement anyways, so you won’t get any new things in your inbox after 2 weeks or so.

    For your existing community subscriptions, try the “Export” and “Import” buttons in your settings. At the top right, behind your username: “Settings” and then there is a button to export everything. You should be able to import that file on your new instance.

    And we don’t have any karma here, or restrictions for new users to post. So it’s not like on Reddit where you’d need your history and score.

      Thanks for the exhaustive reply ! I was mainly thinking about subscriptions and I didn’t know that there was a dedicated option in the settings, it should work beautifully then! Thanks for your help again
