It's getting really annoying. Is there an mobile friendly way to migrate my account from lemmy.world to lemmy.zip?
You can always have multiple accounts
I guess the issue is to importing the huge list of blocked instances to the new account
I'll concede, that's a legitimately useful timesaver.
Yes, exactly. Blocked and subscribed as well
Why do you block instances? Sorry, new here
Because I have no interest in them, or they are NSFW and don't tag properly, or they are duplicates with ones I already follow (technology communities are a good example)
I personally follow all the technology communities and just show new subscribed content on my main page. Some content is the same but there's a lot of different posts too.
It kind of sucks that there's several sub's with a lot of people but then again, that's the point, right?
You do you, I just prefer to block them, as long as we are both happy, that's what matters!
Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything on mobile yet. The best tool for this is LASIM on desktop.
Thanks! Gonna have to find some way to get to a PC or Mac.
If you're on Android you can use Termux to run lemmy_migrate, it's a Python script
Hello,
Hm, I'm afraid at this moment the most common solution is https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim, which requires a computer. Would you be able to get access to one at some point later?
I have access to my work MacBook. Would that work?
I'm not an expert in Rust, but I guess it should!
LASIM author here - it should! Though Mac OS X is the one platform I can't test on myself - I can build it through Github, and everything I did should be cross-platform, but I can't actually launch it myself to make sure everything is working fine.
Only other thing might be if their work Macbook imposes any restrictions on running arbitrary binaries from the internet - which it understandably might.
Ooh, I didn’t know about this, thank you. I’ve primarily been using kbin, but this sounds like a good tool to bookmark for the future.
