You can also just have multiple accounts. I have one on lemm.ee just for this reason.

Yeah, I have .world where I first signed up. It occasionally had some issues so I added another that I just mostly read on if the other isn't working

It'd be nice to export/import subscriptions but I'm sure eventually the servers will get past it

I'm afraid that as long as you have to go to github and run such scripts for these things, Lemmy will stay a nerd-only place.

Hopefully it gets integrated into the website at some point

I learnt my lesson to have multiple accounts after vlemmy

[–] hemmes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was my main. The instance vanished faster than cotton candy being held by a raccoon standing in a pond.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Oddly specific, but very accurate

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's funny, at this point I don't feel like I even have a main account. I just randomly pick an instance every time I go Lemmying

[–] cultsuperstar@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Same, I have accounts on lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, and Kbin.social.

[–] NatoBoram@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I don't remember Kbin having an API, so that might explain why

[–] Piers@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm trying to pick ones with meaningfully different aims so that I can try to keep some sort of separation in my head. Otherwise I'd quickly lose track of what conversation having where, with whom and why.

I forgot that I had a lemmy.ee account and set up my own instance a few days ago while lemmy.world was down.

Right now it’s just a free Google cloud VM instance and a $3/year domain. It was super easy to set up with Lemmy-Easy-Deploy and I’ll never have an issue with going down. I’ll either be busy looking through Lemmy, or busy trying to figure out why it went down!

Is there a readily available tool that can export/import community subs? I have two accounts on different instances but would like them to have to same subscriptions

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've not used it myself but heard good things about https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

I don't think so, you might be out of luck there.

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thank you!
