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

    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.

        No worries. It just felt irresponsible not to say something.
