@fediverse Vlemmy refugees logging in from elsewhere, how's it working?

Was pretty painful to recreate my account on Lemm.ee, but I think that I have it mostly recreated. I am wondering if there is some way to automatically download a full list of subscriptions so that I can either sync up a backup account or at least have a file that I can import with a new account in case Lemm.ee blows up.

Fortunately, I had manually exported the list to sync it up with my Kbin accounts about a week and half ago, so I did have some of them tracked. Exporting into Excel was not easy!

Yes, we need something like this. Like the equivalent to an opml file for rss readers, just with our community lists.

EDIT I just saw this, so it could offer one way to back up your subscribed communities list, in case you need to take it to a new instance: https://lemmy.ml/post/1870958

Im still on the process of searching for some of the subs I used to be subscribed to, luckily I could still search my account so I immediately subscribed to all the communities I had commented on, but those that I only read are still a mystery to me.

Truly a pain in the ass

Yes! We need this feature. Someone should suggest it on the GitHub page or wherever the lemmy devs accept new feature requests

How do you upload or download subbed magazines to/from kbin? I'd like to resub to most of my communities from kbin both to have an extra account in case SHTF and to try out their different UI

I haven’t figured out an effective way. Was running all of the subscriptions through an Excel pivot table, but I am sure someone with programming could do it a better way!

I had just copied the text from the list on the Kbin subscribed list. To be honest, it worked slightly better than doing the same for Lemmy.
