I got accounts in multiple instances due to inconsistency in each instance. (for example lemmy.world is offline now). I would like an easier way to migrate my subscriptions to another instance so that I can keep a copy of my subscriptions even if one is down.
On top of this Sync settings changes for each account I got (WHYYY!!), now am forced to change each and every Sync settings on each account. Please give us an option to keep same Sync settings for all accounts; or give an option to copy config to other accounts.
Use a tool like Lasim
Then
1- Backup your settings of the account you got them right.
2- Restore your settings on the other accounts.
Settings can be backed up and imported from the cloud with Ultra:Here’s a link to the backup menu. You do not need the cloud, you can do so locally:
Settings shortcut: Backup > Backup now
Handling migration of subscriptions is under development and is marked as an Ultra feature:
Settings shortcut: Sync Ultra > Import / export subscriptions
FYI: you don’t need Sync Ultra feature for that, you can export setting to your phone storage and import them from there in a free version.
Settings > General > BackupThat is true. Sorry, I just searched the settings menu for “import” and it didn’t turn up when I did, but here’s the menu:
You can link to specific settings?! That’s awesome!
You hold on them, and it’ll copy a link to the setting in question.
Thank you. Settings restore worked like a charm.
As far as I can see I can’t import the list of communities I’ve subscribed to from one account to another… I have sync ultra, tried backup from one account and restore to another and Subscriptions didn’t come… So my second account I’ll only use for surfing when lemmy.world is down, which is the main reason I joined a second instance anyway Basically the backup and restore is by individual account it seems
Migrating account instances is still a work in progress, I believe. Should be possible with ultra eventually.
