How does this handle cases where no subscribers from an instance have subscribed to an external community yet? Other migration tools I have used require these to be added manually. Does yours automate this process?
Edit: any plans to add to FDroid?
I'm not sure, I had issues syncing some communities maybe this was the case
Maybe grouping these communities into a list and then linking to them manually for users to click though and sub would be a good idea.
Didn't get a chance to look at how your app works under the hood, but for LASIM I look up the community by name to get the ID and then call thr subscribe API. The former did seem to trigger the Lemmy instance to "learn" about the community, but it takes awhile, and there is no way to know when it has learned it other than to retry looking it up a few times.
Oh, okay, this will definitely be helpful
Excellent work by the way, much better solution than my own :)
