I joined https://lemmy.myserv.one but I have to resubscribe to all my communities? How can you avoid this and have it automatic?

I created this https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate to let you sync your different communities among your accounts.

Damn, I wish I found this an hour ago! I just finished transferring over to blahaj.zone. I'll definitely use this in the future!

Are there more detailed instructions somewhere? I learned python for like a week and not sure what to do exactly

Interesting. Too late as I resubscribed already but maybe will help others hopefully.

That's exactly what preventing me from switching to a more obscure instance. I don't want to redo my subs all over again

Kind of a big drawback and not the original impression I got when told all instances are federated so its the same everywhere and doesnt matter….

Switching might benefit lemmy.world but it was inconvenient and didnt benefit me much. The content is the same after resubbing but was a hassle. Unclear if I gained much personally doing it.
