I’ve created two 2 instances and am admin of both. I’d like to transfer my account across or at least federate with all my subscriptions. It would take me all day to find all those communities again.
While a direct migration does not exist, since you have access to the data on both instances it would theoretically be possible to export/import the database tables from one to the other. That will require digging and knowledge on your end to figure out which data needs to move over.
Another option would be to duplicate the database from the first instance and connect to that front the second instance. From there make the changes to the second instance by hand.
Just make sure before you go mucking about with and database imports you have a good solid backup in case things go south.
Note: The above is theoretical as I have not setup am instance of Lemmy of my own. Just typical of how a database works.
Unfortunately no. You cannot migrate accounts at this point in time.

I was just thinking because I’m the admin of both servers that I technically have access to all of the data…
Hi there, this is not possible. You can’t migrate your subscriptions. But you can use an API wrapper to automate subscribing.

From what I’ve seen, there is currently no account transfer mechanism. I think it might be a planned feature at some point in the future.
