“EXIT” – Export Across Instances Tool
This is a simple and self-contained tool that helps automate the process of exporting your magazine subscriptions from one instance to another, provided you have accounts on both.
Could also be used to copy subscriptions from one named account to another named account on the same instance, or to back them up for later.

I haven’t tried all of them, but the ones I did check were ones that had not had posts on them at their source instance for quite a while. A few random examples:
I had 43 failures and 111 successes, so visual inspection wouldn’t really help. I kept copies of the error log and the script output in a text file to figure it out later.
I assume that this means these communities haven’t had activity since fedia.io opened, and so fedia.io doesn’t know they exist? I’ve always wondered how the first person to subscribe to a community on an instance is able to do that.
And yeah, I’m using “community” to refer to “magazine”.
