So I wrote a little web app that allows a user to move their user data, like settings and subscribed/banned communities, from one account/instance to another.

It runs completely client-side, but is hosted on GitHub for the moment. Maybe it’ll be of some use!

Features:

• Don’t trust me or GitHub? Clone the project and host it yourself or run it locally (Example in Wiki)
• Export user data from any Lemmy instance (>=v0.19)
• Download user data as a text file
• Modify user data, e.g. to add or remove followed users/communites (Example in Wiki)
  • “display_name” ​
  • “bio” ​
  • “avatar” ​
  • “banner” ​
  • “matrix_id” ​
  • “bot_account” ​
  • “settings” ​
  • “followed_communities” ​
  • “saved_posts” ​
  • “saved_comments” ​
  • “blocked_communities” ​
  • “blocked_users” ​
  • “blocked_instances”
• Transfer user data to the target account on the target instance
