The app that synchronizes multiple lemmy accounts so you can migrate and keep backup accounts across instances, it's opensource and free, currently working in android and windows.
It's in homologation now and anyone can test, any feedbacks are welcome as always.
If you find any bugs please report
FUCKER thanks you for this application.
FUCKER good to know you liked!
is the fucker some kind of emoji I'm missing or are you guys just being friendly
This should be in the lemmy code. Federate out accounts.
Seriously, would it be possible to integrate Lemmy Handshake into Lemmy source code?
I feel this should be part of the core package.
Probably not a big deal but your username autopopulates the login field.
Holy shit I forgot to take it out lol, thanks for the reminder
I thought it was a feature lol
This would be way too egocentric 😅
Thank you for this, worked like a charm!
Wow, great to know!
That logo is trippy
Do you accept PRs? I’d love to setup an iOS build for this
Of course, I'd love iOS support but I don't have iphone
Amazing! You have just filled the biggest crevice of Lemmy! Thank you!!
Beware!
This unsubscribed me from twenty+ communities on all of my instances. It first tried to subscribe all of my accounts to all of the communities of my largest instance, which is what I wanted it to do. One instance failed to sub to 20+ communities, which was fine, as it was a smaller instance.
Ten minutes later, however, I got a notification that it had unsubscribed all of my other instances from those communities as well. It took me about an hour to figure out most of the ones that had been lost, and even now I think I'm missing a few.
I'm sorry it happened, it definitely should not do it, could you describe the steps you made to trigger this behavior? So I can patch it ASAP?
Please add a logging functionality, so that even if something like that would happen in the future because of some special case bug, it would still be possible to figure out which subscriptions were removed.
Same thing happened to me, it seemed like it didn't do it when I had just two accounts, but it did do it when I had 3.
Not sure if it has anything to do with certain communities not being federated to the other instances
:: cries in iOS ::
The code can be compiled to iOS with a few increments but I don't have the knowledge to do so
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working for accounts with 2FA. Had to disable it to get the job done.
Vish, this is really an issue, I'll add it to issues so I can check if it's possible to fix later
Ooh syncs saved posts as well! Definitely downloading this
Edit: Ah that's not ready yet. Still very cool
Soon it will sync, I didn't have much time last weekend
Wow finally! Hopefully this gets released for iOS also
The code can be compiled to iOS with a few increments, but I don't have the knowledge to do so
Maybe now people can finally spread out... It's just sad to see everyone on Lemmy.world as if it was the new Gmail or something.
One of the main reasons I did it, so people can spread across instances
Any plan on Mac and Linux version soon?
I don't own a Mac, but I plan to compile it to Linux soon
Thanks for supporting linux, please consuder flatpak instead of making a binary per distro
Android and windows. Two things I don’t use. Can you at make a Linux version?
I think this would work great as a web app.
It's made in flutter so I can probably port it to Linux and web, once I do it I'll update the app
Great job! That's an excellent way to spread out.
This is REALLY cool and helpful. I just tried it with the 3 accounts I have and it worked flawlessly.
Only suggestion would be to have the app check a servers defederated list and disregard any communities that you cannot subscribe too. This would prevent a lot of errors that happen when going through the sync. This is pretty minor as the app does seem to skip the community after the error but I suspect it would be a little faster if it just rejectected the community via internal software. Some users who are not aware of defederated communities may get confused by the errors as well.
Maybe this isn't very realistic? If it isn't, never mind. :)
I'm thinking about how to get rid of those errors, this might the solution but I think there isn't a way to check the list of defederated instances, one thing I'll implement soon is to expire synchronization tries after x days so the list won't grow forever
Glad the app helped you
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.
Just created another account and synced it with this account using your app. Worked like a charm! This is great man!
Wow, great work! thank you!
