[Feature request] Handling accounts in multiple instances. (lemm.ee)

I got accounts in multiple instances due to inconsistency in each instance. (for example lemmy.world is offline now). I would like an easier way to migrate my subscriptions to another instance so that I can keep a copy of my subscriptions even if one is down.

On top of this Sync settings changes for each account I got (WHYYY!!), now am forced to change each and every Sync settings on each account. Please give us an option to keep same Sync settings for all accounts; or give an option to copy config to other accounts.

Use a tool like Lasim

Then

1- Backup your settings of the account you got them right.

2- Restore your settings on the other accounts.

~~Settings can be backed up and imported from the cloud with Ultra:~~

Here's a link to the backup menu. You do not need the cloud, you can do so locally:

Settings shortcut: Backup > Backup now

Handling migration of subscriptions is under development and is marked as an Ultra feature:

Settings shortcut: Sync Ultra > Import / export subscriptions

FYI: you don't need Sync Ultra feature for that, you can export setting to your phone storage and import them from there in a free version.

Settings > General > Backup

That is true. Sorry, I just searched the settings menu for "import" and it didn't turn up when I did, but here's the menu:

Settings shortcut: Settings > Backup

You can link to specific settings?! That's awesome!

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You hold on them, and it'll copy a link to the setting in question.

Thank you. Settings restore worked like a charm.
