A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I tested this and worked very well
Did it migrate all your posts/comments/saved items? It looks like just subscriptions
Yes, only subscribed communities and block list
Thank you
I'd looooove to see Mastodon's export/import feature on Lemmy, I've already had some servers shut down and it would've been really nice to duplicate all of my subs
The feature has been noted on GitHub but it's probably a complicated task so I'm guessing it will be a while before it gets implemented. Would love to be able to link accounts across instances as well, even if posts/comments aren't mirrored.
IKR? Sounds like a basic must have feature for any platform on the fediverse.
Not at the moment, it's a known issue on GitHub which I seems like a large task, so it may be a while before it can be done
Not that I’ve found. My favorite part of moving to a new instance is screenshotting the communities you’re in, going to the new instance and searching and … they don’t show up for some reason.
They don't show up probably because that instance is so new nobody subbed to that community yet, hence the reason it can't find it.
If you search by the full URL of the sub and make sure that Search is set to “All” it will show up eventually. If you then subscribe, your instance will then be federated and start to receive info from that community but it does take a bit of time to get.
If you join a medium-sized but weeks-old instance then it is likely to already have been federated and you won’t have much of a headache.
So the instances that individual users are subscribed to are what show up in your default instance feed? I thought the default feed for your instance was just which communities your instance set to show. So if someone is subbed to, say, underwater-needle-felting and they are on my instance, I will see underwater-needle-felting stuff on my main feed? Do those show up when I switch to subscribed instead of main?
Yes to everything except the last part, if you switch to subscribed, you see your subscriptions.
You’ll see it if you search for it and in All, but it won’t be in your Local or Subscribe feed
On mastodon and calckey migrating from instance to instance is easy. I don't see it as a feature on kbin yet.
If there are, I wish I would've known before I created a completely new account on a new instance.
Someone suggested using different instance accounts like multi reddits. Then you just jump between accounts, depending what stuff you feel like seeing then.
Another idea was making accounts on instances that interest you and using their local posts to find other things that are similar.
Eg I have a feddit UK account which I plan to make a localised UK focused one.
Good idea! Different accounts for different moods and purposes.
Someone already posted the wescode migrate, but here's my Python code that does a bit more. It's not the most user friendly yet, but I'm working on it.
Perfect thank you!
