Migrate OFF of Lemmy (lemmy.ml)

So, how? How can I take my data with me as a back-up and leave? How can I migrate and upload that back-up to another instance, saving me from resubbing to a plethora of disparate communities repeatedly should I wish?

Unfortunately, there's no export/import functionality yet, that's coming soon.

Migrating does involve re-subbing to all your communities. The way I did it is I had both accounts open in 2 different windows and went down the list. Took me maybe 20 minutes.
