Since we’re on the topic of moving between instances, I recommend this tool to migrate your subscribed communities from one instance account to another: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

For those using linux, btw, you probably don’t have install Python3, as it’s likely already installed in your system. If you already have git installed, it’s even easier.

Here’s what I did:

• Go to whatever subdirectory you want to install lemmy_migrate on. In my case, it’s ~/Projects.
• Go to the repository (linked above) and go to Code and copy the Git HTTPS link
• Type git clone <url> where url is the link you copied in the previous step
• Press enter to start cloning the repository
• Go to the repository directory and edit the config.ini file, putting in your account details.
• When ready, type python3 ./lemmy_migrate.py -c config.ini
• Press enter to start the ‘migration process’.
